This flexible layout allows the property to function beautifully as a single family beach house or as a multifamily residence with a private guest suite, mother in law space, or income producing rental. A large two car garage provides ample storage for beach gear, bikes, and water toys. Major updates include Rinnai hot water heater, a gas furnace and roof replaced approximately five years ago, adding peace of mind.
