Listing broker remarks

Year round 3 bedroom West Island home with ocean views! This 3-bedroom home offers beautiful water views, year round living, and is not in a flood zone. Enjoy the comfort of central air, a gas fireplace, and the convenience of hardwood floors. The exterior was freshly painted this year, and a new hot water tank was recently added. Relax on the back deck overlooking the spacious yard or rinse off after beach days in the outdoor shower. There’s also room to add a garage if desired. The property offers off-street parking for four cars. West Island is known for its natural beauty, with over half of its 535 acres preserved as state park land, along with a strong sense of community spirit and secluded beaches. This is an incredible opportunity to enjoy coastal living in a well-maintained home in one of Fairhaven’s most sought-after seaside neighborhoods.— RE/MAX Vantage
