Tucked along a peaceful canal, this elevated cottage is full of charm, thoughtful upgrades, and exciting potential. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and spanning 1,265 square feet, this property is a rare opportunity to create your dream waterfront retreat.
Originally 750 sq ft, the home was lifted and extended to include a spacious primary suite and two garages below — perfect for boat storage, a workshop, or added flexibility.
The en suite primary bath is ready for your finishing touches, as the plumbing has already been roughed in — giving you the opportunity to design the space exactly how you want it and easily convert the home into a 2-bed, 2-bath!
Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, short-term rental, or a peaceful full-time residence, this canal-front property delivers on location and possibility. Enjoy the perks of a waterfront community, as you can launch your boat just down the street at the private community ramp, and reach the Washington Waterfront in under 15 minutes.
Don't miss this second chance to transform a special setting into your perfect coastal getaway — schedule your showing today!
