Property Description

Prime Property with Ocean Views from an amazing One-of-a-kind home + four rental cottages. These 5 units are located just steps to the sand on a 75 x 140 foot extra-large lot! The Main house features a double door entry with imported doors and flooring; vaulted ceilings, stained glass and skylights make house airy and spacious. Kitchen opens to dining area and sunken living room with built-in shelving and furniture. Huge double-sink bath with giant tub/shower. Garaged parking for two vehicles also boasts large workshop with ½ bath. The four 2 BR/1 BA units have charm galore, plus 6 off street parking spaces in front. The cottages are fully detached and either 720 or 750 square feet. Remodeled in the mid 80's with large and proportioned room sizes, double dutch door in the kitchen & garden windows. Cottages had new roofs in 2019. Perfect opportunity for the buyer who has always wanted beach property. Please do not walk on the property. A vision brought to life 40 years ago, this one-of-a-kind home and four surrounding cottages are in a class of their own, fitting right in with the OB vibe! Mere steps to the sand, and abundant off-street and garage parking, all on an extra-large lot in a remarkably quiet area. The main house enjoys sea views and lovely breezes. Thai front door is a unique conversation piece; interlocking kumbug wood flooring was imported from Sri Lanka. Brightness abounds with two skylights; clerestory stained-glass windows hand-wrought by the owner-builder depict Ali Baba and his preferred mode of transport. Vaulted ceilings lend so much spacious airiness! The cheery kitchen opens to a large dining area and the sunken living room, where built-in furniture, bookshelves, and a Franklin stove on cool nights add to the coziness (house also has forced-air heat). Two good-sized bedrooms, one has the adjacent bath with a second hall entrance, along with double sinks and giant tub/shower. A large picture window in bath area has privacy louvers but allows for even more natural light. Outdoor space on other side of window is ready for potted plants to make the bath a true oasis. Two single garages below; with 8' and 10' openings, an attached workshop area, including a ½ bath for post-beach rinses! Storage space is plentiful. Coin-op washer and free dryer are owned. The four cottages are each 2 BR/1 BA, with charming features like Dutch doors and bay windows. Rental units’ cable and WiFi are below ground, and all cottages received new roofs in 2019. Six separate meters include one for each home and another for the common areas. Exterior: ,
