With approximately 50 feet of bulkheaded shoreline, a private pier, and beautiful water views, this property is full of potential for the right buyer. Built in 1924, this charming colonial-style home offers character, space, and stunning possibilities for transformation. The main level features 899 square feet of living space, including a galley-style kitchen, a combined dining room area, a cozy living/family room with waterfront views, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. A spiral staircase leads to the open loft-style upper level—approximately 400 square feet—featuring a half bath, French doors to a private balcony, and potential to become a luxurious primary suite or creative flex space.
