Here is a rare incoming-generating opportunity in Breton Bay – a waterfront community surrounding a beautiful golf course. Maximize your investment with this unique 3,464 sq. ft. residence, well designed to function as two distinct homes under one roof. Whether you are looking to "house hack" by offsetting your mortgage or seeking a turnkey multi-unit investment, this property offers a proven rental history that is hard to find. The secondary residence isn't just a suite; it’s a high-demand 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with a private exterior entrance, full kitchen, dedicated laundry, and its own private deck. With a track record of long-term stability—including a previous seven-year tenancy—this space provides immediate income potential in a high-demand area. The main residence is a contemporary styled home featuring vaulted ceilings, hardwoods, and a light-filled open concept. The cottage kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, a rolling island, and a storage closet this seller used as wine storage. The entire top level serves as a private owner’s sanctuary with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while two additional spacious bedrooms occupy their own dedicated level for maximum privacy. This home boasts a brand-new septic system installed in the Fall 2025, fresh paint throughout, and new carpet in both the home and the apartment. If it is not a rental income you are seeking, reimagine this home into two distinct living experiences under one roof—perfect for multigenerational families, a premium home office suite, or a high-end guest wing. Living in a waterfront community with a beach, pier, playground, and optional golf club membership. This can be more than a home; it may be a strategic financial move to allow the rental income to offset your mortgage. Let this property work for you!
