You can't miss this property its a bright beacon on the street and everyone knows this unique property which is now looking for a new owner.
Priced well as waterfront blocks along this area are harder to find,prices alone for a block before you start all the work to get a property on it is closer to $400K.Why?Because water access,and amazing views like this are rare.
*Time has come for the owners to say they are selling so another can enjoy what they have done for many years.
*If your budget $700K and a cottage suits you then this is for you.
*You could not buy this lifestyle opportunity elsewhere, a thought for those considering is the Olympic games will be here before you know it, as it is currently an Air BNB, you can reap the rewards even more and be glad you bought when you did.
*We all know we think about it, may not act on it, then regret it in years to come,dont let this be a thought...Is it time you made your move?

I live and work Russell Island, local knowledge and loving the community vibe with the choice to do it your own way is something worth its weight in gold.
