About This Home

As of June 2016

The Classic Beach Cottage, built in 1938, has wonderful Ocean Views from the 2nd & 3rd Levels, and was originally a garage that serviced the house on the corner of 53rd & Oceanfront Ave. An extensive reconfiguration & renovation, to include 3rd Level Master Suite, Hardyplank Siding, Dimensional Asphalt Roof, Front Columns, Deck , Pavers, and Outdoor Shower. was done in 2000 by the prior owner. The timeless flavor of the home was kept by incorporating the old world features that were present, such as Heavy Baseboard, Knee Wall Paneling, and Pine Floors. Local architect, Todd Savage was the designer, and a set of plans is available.
