Located in one of Westerly's most sought-after coastal neighborhoods, this rare two-family beach cottage presents an exceptional opportunity for investors, vacation homeowners, or those seeking a premier beach retreat. Just a short stroll from the sandy shoreline of Misquamicut and Benson Avenue Beach, this property offers the coveted coastal lifestyle that makes this area one of Rhode Island's most desirable seaside destinations. The existing structure features two separate units, each offering 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, and a half bath, providing flexible rental or family-use options. Two outdoor showers make it easy to rinse off after a day at the beach, while the property's location allows residents and guests to enjoy the charm, exclusivity, and limited inventory that define this highly desirable beach community. Situated on a cesspool system and notably not requiring flood insurance, the property offers a unique investment opportunity in a location where beach-area properties are tightly held and consistently in demand. Whether you're looking to renovate, maximize rental income, or create the ultimate coastal getaway, the possibilities are abundant. Buyer to perform all due diligence regarding property condition, future use, redevelopment potential, and all municipal requirements. Property is being sold as-is.
