Property description
MULTIPLE OFFERS, BEST AND FINAL DUE BY FRIDAY 4/12 BY 5 PM. Ocean View's rich history and the splendor of the present town collide in this home full of memories. This property is extremely spacious boasting a lot over 30,000 SQFT. The home has an abundance of living space on the first floor with a large den, oversized living room and a formal dining room. The sunroom on the first floor has been converted into a bedroom providing an additional option for guests or those allergic to stairs. The second floor offers three good-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom as well. A stairway on the second floor leads to an attic that spans the footprint of the home and offers more storage than necessary, especially considering the oversized detached garage with a second floor storage space. While the home is impressive and full of character, the land is really unique for this location. The .714 acre lot will allow a comfort not usually found in the town of Ocean View. This home is being sold as is and furnished. A new roof was installed in 2017. Being only a few miles from the sand and salt air offers a lifestyle many dream of. Let's make that dream a reality.
