Property Description
Zoned for both commercial and residential use, this 0.67-acre property offers a rare opportunity to build a custom home, seasonal retreat, or live/work space in a highly accessible Charlestown location. The lot includes two existing structures, one formerly a restaurant at the front of the property and a secondary building in the rear, both in need of full renovation or demolition. Set off its own private pull-off drive just off Route 1, the location provides a sense of privacy without sacrificing proximity to beaches, schools, restaurants, and shopping. Whether you're envisioning a brand-new build with room for a home-based business or a renovation project with character, this versatile lot offers space, visibility, and potential. Also listed #1390839.
