About this home
Step into a piece of history with this enchanting 4 bedroom residence poised for a loving restoration. Built in 1875, this home enchants with 19th century charm, featuring exquisite balusters, an oversized fireplace, and a grand stair railing that makes a sweeping statement of elegance. With just over 2,000 sq. ft. on nearly half an acre of verdant land, garden enthusiasts will revel in the potential of lush outdoor spaces. Majestic ocean views grace every floor, while the towering 10 foot ceilings amplify the grandeur. With 4 bedrooms and 1 bath, 2 additional bonus sun rooms, there is ample room for a new layout. Additional treasures include a one-car garage coupled with parking for seven more vehicles, a very tall walk-out basement brimming with possibilities, and the comfort of a brand new furnace, hot water tank and newer windows throughout. Residing on a private cul-de-sac, close to beaches, this home is out of the flood zone, a sanctuary of its own.
