Beach access, generous land, and exciting future potential! This charming two-bedroom cottage sits on a 5,200+/- square-foot lot with public beach access just a short stroll away at the end of the road. Whether you're looking for a Cape escape, investment property, or an opportunity to create something more, this property offers plenty of possibilities. Inside, the cottage has a warm, casual beach-house feel, with hardwood floors, a cathedral-ceilinged living room, and a spiral staircase leading to a cozy sleeping loft. A first-floor bedroom adds convenience, while the bathroom has its own exterior entrance—perfect for coming in from the beach without tracking through the house. A gas Rinnai heater and split-system heating/air conditioning provide year-round comfort, and there's more than ample parking. The real opportunity is outside. The substantial lot and current configuration may offer the potential to add a freestanding Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or expand the existing cottage, subject to zoning and permitting. Enjoy the cottage today and explore its possibilities for tomorrow. With beach access, land, parking, and development potential, this is a property with options!
