Expansion and Investment Opportunity! This charming beach cottage offers more than meets the eye. According to information provided by East Lyme Planning & Zoning, the existing footprint may support an expansion of approximately 400 additional square feet, increasing the home from 696 square feet to roughly 1,100 square feet. Planning & Zoning advised that any future expansion would be subject to a 30-foot front setback, 12-foot side and rear setbacks, and a maximum lot coverage of twenty-five percent. In addition to its coastal charm, the property has been a successful short-term rental, generating approximately $60,000 annually, with peak summer months producing approximately $10,000 per month. Interested parties should independently verify all information regarding expansion potential, permits, setbacks, lot coverage requirements, zoning regulations, and short-term rental use. Information is believed to be reliable but is not guaranteed.
