“The best way to predict the future is to create it” ~Abraham Lincoln The future is wide open for this 3rd Cliff Colonial for blissful living now & opportunities for expansion down the road. NOW: Bounding curb appeal embellishes this seaside farmhouse! Relax on the huge farmer's porch to enjoy life on the cliff, have some privacy on the back deck or play outdoor games in the expansive yard. Inside, the open floor plan is wonderful for entertaining & any chef will adore the kitchen design. FUTURE: Expansion was thoughtfully planned into the building of this home 4 years ago. Plans are available for a future garage or pool. The walk out basement & walk up 3rd floor are ready to be finished with existing feeds for utilities. And even more exciting is the possibilities that the "barn" may offer. The original house on the lot was the Roadside Teahouse built in 1900. It has active utilities & offers 760 sq. ft of space. Come home to the blissful life on Third Cliff!!
