The private driveway only accommodates two small vehicles, which is highly inadequate for a compound consisting of six total units in a high-traffic beach community.
With six units squeezed into approximately 2,565 square feet of living space, the individual units are likely quite small, and the 1948 construction may require ongoing maintenance due to its age and coastal exposure.
