Set on the largest lot on the street in the heart of Short Beach, this cherished coastal home offers a rare blend of history, charm, and future potential. Hitting the market for the first time in 60 years, 39 Little Bay Ln has been the backdrop for generations of summers, celebrations, and quiet seaside mornings. Just two houses down from Little Bay Lane's private beach, the existing 2-bedroom, 2 bath home features a warm, quaint interior highlighted by beautifully preserved stained wood, creating a timeless and inviting atmosphere. Two sun porches-one on the first floor and another on the second floor- as well as the spacious back deck provide peaceful spaces to relax, dine, or simply take in ocean views and coastal breezes throughout the day. What truly sets this property apart is the land. The expansive lot is approved for a significantly larger home, offering an exceptional opportunity for expansion or new construction while enjoying a prime seaside setting. Whether you envision enhancing the existing cottage or enjoying the coastal residence, the possibilities here are as compelling as they are rare. A property like this-rich in character, positioned for growth.
