Location is everything and more with this one! INCREDIBLE VIEWS. The high elevation (28-30 feet) at the top of the dune gives this property commanding views of the ocean and Research Pier property. Sandy Ridge is a small community with private beach access. Although rentals are allowed, most of the homes are used exclusively by the owners. The 15,000 s.f. site is 145 feet wide and 103 feet deep. This will allow for a home with exceptional curb appeal and architectural significance. The current home has been used as a second home for years. It has just over 2000 s.f. with four bedrooms, three full baths, an open concept kitchen/dining living room, a lovely, covered porch, and another common area/media room with a bath on this ground level as well. The main living area is perfect for taking in the views and has a great feel with a vaulted ceiling. The porch adjacent to the kitchen enjoys sublime summer breeze! On the top floor, 2 bedrooms share one bath. The top deck has even better views of the ocean and sound. On the main floor there are also 2 bedrooms and one bath. Outside there is a 14 x 34 heated pool with a very beachy feel! This home is great as it is, or you could expand the kitchen and add baths! This site is so incredible that it is easy to envision a new home here too! All of the lots to the east of this home are developed. There is no vacant lot between 116 and 118 Sandy Ridge so those great views of the ocean and pier should remain. There is a community pool that is open in the summer. There are reasonable covenants and architectural review in Sandy Ridge. With just 170 yards to the beach access, you will not find a home closer to the beach with better views and elevation!
