Description

Charming Beach cottage on a large lot with lower seawall and upper bluff caissons. From the moment you open the front gate you can see the beautiful blue ocean water. This single level home sits on an irregularly shaped lot resulting in almost 60' of frontage on the Ocean which gives you even more panoramic views and a lush grass west yard. The east side yard is spacious, very private, and beautifully landscaped, with potential for home expansion. Only 11 lots to Beacons Beach access. shorturl.at/bHLPZCharming Beach cottage on a large lot with lower seawall and upper bluff caissons.
