$849,000

Rare buildable 0.2273-acre (9,900 sq ft) lot in Newbury on Plum Island! Combine two side-by-side parcels (11 & 13) to build a multi-story home located on quiet 16th Street in the Newbury Plum Island Overlay District (PIOD) with northern views of The Basin. Unlike most of Plum Island, this is NOT in a flood zone. Preliminary due diligence with the town suggests the footprint supports approximately 1980 sq ft with 3BR of new construction with ample room for plenty of off-street parking. Municipal water and sewer are already on the street. An existing 600 sq ft cottage, supporting seasonal use, on parcel 13 establishes an excellent precedent for non-conforming structure/use. A 2-lot survey is available. Buyer is responsible for combining the parcels and for paying an outstanding $2,400 sewer betterment assessment (Water betterment has been paid) and to perform all due diligence. Signage on-site—come create your dream island getaway!
