Property Description
Opportunity awaits in Slaughter Beach! Located just steps from the beach in a quiet coastal community, this property offers the potential to create a weekend getaway, fishing retreat, or coastal investment property. The home needs renovation, making it an opportunity for a buyer ready to roll up their sleeves and bring their vision to life. A wraparound porch extending along two sides of the home offers space to relax and enjoy the coastal setting. Imagine the possibilities for creating your own beach retreat in this peaceful seaside community. The neighboring property at 386 Bay Avenue is also being offered for sale by the same seller, creating an additional opportunity for buyers interested in acquiring both properties. This property is being sold as-is and requires renovation. The existing septic system is nonfunctional. Content is reliable but not guaranteed and should be independently verified (e.g., square footage may not be exact; visuals may be modified; school boundaries should be confirmed by school/district)
