About This Home

YOUR PERFECT TINY BEACH HOUSE-YOU'RE NOT DREAMING! You simply cannot get much closer to Sound View and Long Island Sound at this price! This completely remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage is just steps from the beach and ready for you to start making memories. So much has already been done-newer electrical, windows, vinyl siding, AZEK decking, new kitchen, new bathroom and new flooring. Just bring your flip-flops! The cottage has seasonal water service, turned on March 15 and off November 30, giving you nearly nine months to enjoy your own little piece of beach heaven. Spring weekends, endless summer days and beautiful fall escapes! Surrounded by everything that makes Sound View famous-pizza, candy, Italian ice, beach days and summer nights. Part of the intimate Ocean Walk Condominium Association, consisting of only 7 units, with a small annual grounds maintenance fee. Contents are included, making this a truly turnkey coastal retreat. Morning coffee by the Sound, afternoons on the beach and evenings enjoying the shoreline. At $300,000, your perfect tiny beach house is real-and it can be yours!
