PRICE! For this location with unobstructed Long Island Sound views and deeded SANDY beach access a few steps away, this c. 1893 Victorian cottage on sought after Middle Beach Road is worth restoration. Within walking distance of town, the house has five bedrooms, high ceilings on the first floor, 3.1 baths, a fireplace in the living room, a formal dining room and a pleasing flow. The interior is largely paint free original beadboard- the old floors would look beautiful if conditioned. A window-filled tower room on the second floor is warm on the coolest days and sure to please. There is a shed (possible conversion to garage) to store all your beach chairs, beach toys and kayaks. The lot is deeper than it appears and you could create a roomy, private rear yard/garden area. Bring your architect to renovate or build new and enjoy the sea breezes of this special spot. Drawings for a new house are available.
