About This Home

As of June 2025

Unique opportunity to purchase a fully remodeled 4 bedroom home, situated on a corner lot, and INCLUDING the adjacent, buildable parcel upon where the pool sits. Located in the quiet Ocean Ridge neighborhood with no HOA fees or restrictions, short-term rentals are allowed. The Cape Cod style home has over 2,000 sq ft of living space, extensively remodeled with pine floors, new cabinets, granite countertops, black stainless appliances, and updated bathrooms. The master bedroom is downstairs with three additional, spacious bedrooms upstairs. Even the garage has been renovated with new doors and openers, lighting, paint, and epoxy floor. On the exterior the updates to the property are just as special - new, large deck and inground pool for entertaining (with brand new pool liner), hot tub, a studio pool house with half bath, outdoor shower, beautiful rock landscaping, new fencing, new well pump, and ample yard space for games and bonfires. Truly a must-see property fit for your family or investment.
