Wake to sunlight dancing across the water and end each day with unforgettable sunsets over the open bay--a setting of true coastal distinction, rarely available at this value. Set on 1.5 well-positioned acres with prominent frontage on both Route 1 and Old County Road, the property offers outstanding visibility, accessibility, and presence. The existing 4,589 sq ft structure features a flexible layout of private offices and expansive common areas, providing a strong foundation for transformation. Envision a refined coastal residence, a multi-family retreat, or a dynamic owner-occupied rental with income-producing potential. The scale and configuration also support Airbnb or short-term rental use, allowing for multiple revenue streams while maintaining private living space. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence with supplemental income or a dual-purpose investment property, the flexibility here is exceptional. Residential zoning further enhances the opportunity, allowing for a seamless conversion into a coastal home, where expansive windows frame panoramic water views and sea breezes flow throughout.
