Originally built in 1966, this beachfront cottage is well-maintained and described as 'perfectly livable' with an updated kitchen. However, the property shows signs of its age with a small 1,130 sqft footprint and older architectural style.

With a generous 5,005 sqft lot, this site provides a premier opportunity to renovate the existing cottage or design a custom luxury oceanfront estate from the ground up.
