Listing broker remarks

FABULOUS OPPORTUNITY to renovate/expand existing home or build the home of your dreams! Exceptionally well sited 11,624sq' fully conforming buildable lot sits high above flood plain, yet only a few steps to Short Beach. Unobstructed ocean views from the front, Boston Harbor and skyline views from the back. Existing structure needs some cosmetic updating, but all systems are functional. This beautiful lot of land is begging for a creative owner to realize its full potential. Heating and electric have been updated. With no vacant buildable lots available in the smallest town in MA, this is a cost effective opportunity to have a habitable home w/valuable views while you design and build your dream home on this exclusive site. No flood insurance is required, a fully conforming buildable lot, magnificent ocean views from the front, and Boston skyline views from the back.— RE/MAX Beacon
