Description

At Titlow Beach, the water isn’t just your view, it’s your foundation. This rare offering includes THREE charming abodes built directly on pilings over the Sound, connected by expansive decks that invite gatherings for magical sunsets, and the simple joy of life at the water’s edge. Live in one, plenty of space for guests, or VRBO the others. A commercial-grade DEEP WATER DOCK, (that can never be built again) extends your backyard further into the Sound, for boating, crabbing, fishing or sailing....At Titlow Beach, the water isn’t just your view, it’s your foundation. This rare offering includes THREE charming abodes built directly on pilings over the Sound, connected by expansive decks that invite gatherings for magical sunsets, and the simple joy of life at the water’s edge. Live in one, plenty of space for guests, or VRBO the others. A commercial-grade DEEP WATER DOCK, (that can never be built again) extends your backyard further into the Sound, for boating, crabbing, fishing or sailing. 1538 is an adorable, renovated 2 bed/2bath rambler that feels spacious and open. 1542 is 2 bed/1 bath with loft, solar and a front row seat to the Sound PLUS a 1 bed/1 bath ADU. Tideland ownership stretches far beyond the property borders. 2 parking spots above 1542, 2 more in the lot to the north - 4 total. Paddle next door to the Narrows Marina for a pint at Narrows Brewery then dinner at Boathouse 19 or simply settle into the rhythm of the tide beneath your feet. Casual, adventurous, and irreplaceable — this is urban waterfront living - and it's like no other.
