Extraordinary Bristol Highlands waterfront location! A secluded private drive leads to this mid-century contemporary. Sited on 1 1/2 acres, the property stretches from the East Bay Bike Path to 126' of westerly facing coastline (great sunset views!). The house & garage are presented "as is", but well worth the needed renovations - recent neighborhood sales confirm any investment into this property. Bristol Highlands offers a reasonable, optional membership for use of the neighborhood dock, beach, kayak storage area, clay tennis court, & social activities at the club house. All of this, & just a short distance to picturesque Colt State Park & downtown historic Bristol. Wow - what an opportunity to be part of this neighborhood! This is an estate sale.
