Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
Built originally in 1912 and totaling under 1,000 square feet, the current structure is significantly undersized and dated, necessitating a complete rebuild or major renovation to meet modern luxury standards.
Priced at $7.5 million, the investment is primarily focused on the lot and dock rights, representing a high cost-of-entry where the existing home adds minimal functional value to the purchase.
