About This Home
As of November 2021Waterfront on Slaughter Beach -- located on the sandy portion of Slaughter Beach, this home is ready for your vision to make it yours! This is an older Slaughter home that features oil fueled radiant baseboard heat (super efficient), and great wood stove that can heat the entire home for those cool winter nights. Second floor was added to this home in 2004, complete with its own heat pump, 2 bedrooms and full bath, with decks to take in sunrises over the bay and sunsets over the wildlife sanctuary. 3 season room faces the bay with a great yard to enjoy the beach and water views. Huge 2 car garage provides plenty of room for your vehicles and beach toys. Adjacent home at 399 Bay Avenue also available for sale -- buy both and use one as rental, a family compound, or remove both and begin anew with a huge combined parcel. Note: fence currently extends onto adjacent property -- this will be changed or removed with sale of either property.
