The 3400 SF home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, one half bath, office, sunroom, W/D/mud room, 2 car attached garage and 300 SF detached shed.

The lot has 350’ riverfront shoreline with a 300’ rock sill “living shoreline” restoration that recreated 5,000 SF of marsh. This restoration was completed in 2015, is now mature and provides a natural insurance policy against sea level rise and erosion. The first floor has 2333 SF and has a foyer, living room (16’x24’) with gas fireplace and granite surround, dining room (16’x16’), two bedrooms (both 16’x16’), new all marble bathroom with walk-in shower, powder room with marble floor, a small wood-paneled office with wood-burning fireplace with marble surround, eat-in kitchen with maple cabinets and pantry closet, small butler’s pantry between kitchen & dining room, sunroom with large wet bar and exotic granite top and tile floors (16’x20’), mud room with storage shelves, washer/dryer room with utility sink.

Flooring is all carpet except for the bath (tile) and kitchen (vinyl). Separate heat pump for 2nd floor. The original interior staircase from first to second floor is still in place, so the home could easily be converted with minimal structural renovation of the interior back to a single-family residence with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, family/game room, office, sunroom, and powder room. With further interior-only renovation, the home could be a 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, sunroom, office and powder room.

The property does not have a dock but deep water does exist off to the southeast of the property. The back of the house faces south and is ideal for a solar panel installation on the south side roof.
