East Bay Road! HIGHLY desirable Osterville neighborhood on a road w/multi million dollar + properties. Ideally located, it's a half mile to Dowses Beach & the Wianno Club & a short walk to town center in the heart of Osterville!The unique home was originally built in 1870 as a 2 car garage/guest quarters for the neighboring Shubael Baxter House. The garage/guest quarters & 0.4 acres was subdivided off the Shubael Baxter House in 1970. The garage was converted into year round living space in 1987 & that living space was opened into the guest quarters in 1998. Today it offers 1471 sq.ft. of finished space including 3 bedrooms (4 bed septic), 2 full baths, a living room, a den, a kitchen/dining combo & an attached, 1 car, heated garage that can easily be converted into living space if so desired. What makes the property so unique is the layout. Please see attached floor plans to view this interesting style. The home can easily be renovated to create a more traditional design or rebuilt, re-located etc.Sited on 0.4 acres the home is surrounded by lush deciduous trees offering great privacy.With a bit of work this home is a great investment for a vacation, year round or rental home!
