Remarkable opportunity to renovate, or more likely build new, on this expansive .36 acre lot less than 600' to Ropes Beach on scenic Cotuit Bay. Surrounded by significantly higher priced homes, this offering is the perfect canvas for developers or end users with water views from the second floor. Available for the first time in over 50 years the existing 5bed/2bath home needs significant renovations, or better razed and rebuilt as the lot supports a larger home size. Located in town and steps from the beaches, Cotuit Fresh Market, and so much more. Title 5 is buyers responsibility, believed to be on an older cesspool. Buyers or their agents to conduct their own due diligence.
