Charming 1957 cottage loved for generations and first time on the market! Perched above the road and sitting on a flat acre this is a must see in this price range as you can move right in or and enhance the great features. Arched doorways, big country kitchen, hardwood floors and full unfinished basement complete with garage door. Seller had it rented the last few years and there was an additional residence (since removed) so the infrastructure to start an ADU has already happened. Family members raised here, and some remain as adjacent neighbors. Over the more recent years they updated bathroom, appliances, replaced roof, windows, central a/c, water heater and garage door. Deeded shared 20' road and well with #24 & #12. Per DB6392/134 #12's septic tank & drainfield encroaching corner. Per seller: no hurricane damage. IMPORTANT: Sunshine Ridge NOT SunRISE ** Do not go to Sunrise Ridge.**
