About this home

The year built may say 1942, a total modern and updated remodel in 2015. If you wish to live or vacation in luxury just steps from the beach, this is the home for you. This ranch is elevated to minimize the cost of flood insurance. The main level boasts an open eat-in kitchen (with ocean view), dining area, living room and as the owner calls it the quiet corner. Also, many of the utilities are in a utility closet on this floor. A few more steps up is the formal dining room with ocean view and a slider that leads to a large deck. Enjoy outdoor dining and entertainment. There are two more bedrooms and a master bedroom with full bath and plenty of closet space too!The lower level has a family room with large built in wet bar, yes, those are swings you see in the photos. The garage will hold 3 cars or more. There is radiant heat in this lower level. There is a lighted cupola on roof for your fisherman to find their way home. 10/2021 Solar panels provide all the electricity needed. There is a transferable 25-year loan for these, $222/month and the sellers typically get an average refund from National Grid of $250/month. Sellers cannot close before October 15, 2022, just in time for you to spend the winter holidays or be settled and ready for summer 2023.
