    SOLD WITH 10 SWAN! Rare Sound View Opportunity! Offered for the first time since 1979, this unique property includes TWO YEAR-ROUND BEACH HOMES, creating endless possibilities for personal use or investment.

The homes share a well and septic system and offer ample off-street parking, a rare find in this sought-after shoreline neighborhood.
