Nestled between the seaside villages of Avondale and Watch Hill lies this charming vintage ranch located only one mile to the beach and two miles to the historic Watch Hill Carousel. Take a walk to the beach or stroll the Avondale Farm Preserve located just behind the property. Well maintained over the years this home provides an opportunity to create a quintessential beach cottage. It offers an open concept kitchen and living room with a wood burning fireplace. A cozy west facing sunroom off the living room provides sunset views and a warm place of respite. The home has three bedrooms on the main level with a full bath. The downstairs has ample unfinished space, but with a full bath, it presents a blank canvas for a potential entertainment area or guest room. The walkout basement leads to a patio and deck area perfect for late afternoons after the beach in front of the firepit. Make some modern upgrades or enjoy this wonderful cottage as is, either way this location will provide ample opportunity for family gatherings, beach days, and relaxation while making lasting memories.

Beautiful lot only one mile from the beach. While the house needs some updating, the owners took meticulous care of this home. Your beach house awaits!
