Turn your beach dreams into a reality! Available is a super rare, 54' x 100' lot, with an existing cinderblock structure that can be turned in to whatever your heart desires. This unique property once included a beautiful Queen Anne front house, with a two-story guest/carriage house in the rear. Today, all that remains is the foundation of the rear structure (see historic photos). Perhaps this is an opportunity for a motivated buyer to restore this land to its former glory? The lot is located just one block from the subway station, two blocks from the ocean and just up the street from coffee shops and a grocery/shopping center. At 54' x 100', the lot can also be subdivided, which can offer a buyer the possibility to build a dream home on one half and resell the second half. Anyone who is looking to buy in Rockaway knows that Rockaway Beach (11693) is the prime area in which to build and invest. Scarcity of homes and land are pushing buyers to less-desirable neighborhoods, but this is a fleeting opportunity to buy one of the last large, buildable, lots in the prime 11693 zip code. Build two, two family homes? Build a mega one family beach house? Subdivide, build on one side and sell the other half, majorly reducing your costs? Demolish the rear structure and create a Bohemian surf oasis? Park some RVs or container homes and create an AirBnB profit making machine? Whatever your brain can conjure up, the possibilities are endless with a property of this size, nestled directly in the heart of Rockaway Beach.
