Right on Dorcas Bay Road, you're a short drive from the Grotto and Singing Sands Beach. It's a 3-bed, 2-bath house on a 99.9 by 329.7 foot lot with 10 parking spots and no garage. Photos show a wood exterior, a huge back deck overlooking the water, and a large flat yard. Inside, there's local pine trim on all the doors. The main level has two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom. Upstairs is a primary bedroom, a bathroom that has heated floors, and an open kitchen-dining-family room that walks out to that deck. Three Mitsubishi mini-split heat pumps handle heating and cooling, with baseboard and a propane fireplace as backup. There's a covered patio, a big storage shed, and a pollinator garden that's a butterfly sanctuary. The roof was done in 2014 and the exterior got a professional paint job this year. Most of the furniture stays. At $709,999, it's just under the nearby median of $717,500.
