Local Knowledge. Shore Results.

This house on Capshaw Road has gotten the same six questions from buyers over the last thirty days, so I finally stood in the exact spot each one is about and answered all of them on camera. Watch the full video below, or read the breakdown underneath if you'd rather skip straight to the details.

Everything Big Has Already Been Done

Before we get into what's possible, here's what's already handled. Septic, well, HVAC, electric, windows, doors, appliances, roof, all brand new. This isn't a house where you're guessing what's going to fail on you in year one. The big ticket items are already taken care of.

One Lot, Not Two

This property sits on 0.82 acres, but right now it's two separate lots, the one the house sits on, and the one right next to it, 200 feet by 100 feet. I've had investors call specifically wanting to subdivide this and build a second house on that second lot. That's not what this is. When this sells, the town requires those two lots to be consolidated by deed into a single property. Once that happens, splitting it back into two building lots would create two nonconforming lots, and the town won't allow that. So if you're calling about this as a teardown, build a second house play, this one isn't it. What you get instead is one big lot to build out, not two lots to build on.

Room For A Front Porch

The setbacks on this lot leave room to build a front porch right across the front of the house. I confirmed this directly with the zoning office.

Room For A Back Deck

Same answer on the back deck. I called the zoning officer directly and confirmed you can add one off the back of the house.

Room To Add On

Once the lots consolidate at sale, there's room for a 1,000 square foot addition on the side of the house near the garage, a master suite, a screened in porch, whatever fits what you need. I confirmed this directly with the zoning office as well.

The Kitchen Layout

This one's less about what's legal and more about what looks good. The rendering we did shows barstools along the counter instead of a traditional kitchen table, and for a space this size, that's the better use of the room.

What To Do With The Extra Lot

The adjacent lot is the fun part. You've got room here for a pole barn, and plenty of space for a real garden. That's 200 by 100 feet to build the life you want on this property, not just a side yard.
