About This Home
70 Roosevelt Avenue is a West Shore gem-a beach-style retreat on a quiet cul-de-sac, just minutes from shoreline access. This classic 1950s ranch sits on a generous 8,000 sq ft lot with a fully fenced backyard-ideal for relaxing, entertaining, gardening, or giving your four-legged friends room to roam. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms and one full bath. Oak floors connect the sun-filled living room, hallway, and all bedrooms, creating a clean, cohesive flow throughout the main living areas. A wood-burning fireplace adds character and comfort in every season. The versatile bonus room offers added flexibility, featuring a washer and dryer with space for a reading nook, hobby area, or work-from-home setup. Step from this space to a patio that's perfect for summer cookouts, quiet evenings, or simply enjoying the fresh air. Recent updates include a new boiler (2019), roof (2020), gutters (2020), energy-efficient windows (2024), and exterior paint (2019)-offering a solid foundation with room to personalize. Whether you're spending time near the shore, gathering with friends, or taking in the ocean air, this laid-back ranch invites you to live life in a beach state of mind.
