Short Beach School

Property Description

Once the heart of a vibrant shoreline community, this rare Shingle-style former schoolhouse has been thoughtfully transformed into a stunning single- family home—just steps from serene private beaches, with deeded beach rights and no flood insurance required. Set on a beautifully manicured lot, the property features a stamped concrete patio, raised garden beds, and inviting outdoor space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, the main level impresses with a grand foyer, formal living and family rooms, a private office, and a 600 sq ft chef’s kitchen designed to be the heart of the home. With soaring 12-foot coffered ceilings, dual quartz islands, three ovens, a walk-in pantry, and water-view seating, this kitchen is a dream for cooks and hosts alike. A half bath and laundry room complete the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite includes its own study and full bath, with two additional bedrooms and another full bath down the hall. Wide-plank hickory flooring runs throughout the main and upper levels. The finished lower level—not included in total square footage—adds two more bedrooms, a full bath, a rec/game room, and a gym or workshop, offering ideal space for guests, hobbies, or multigenerational living. Originally constructed in 1909 on land donated by a local family, the building served the Short Beach neighborhood for decades before being converted into a private residence in the 1980s. It has since been fully updated with new windows, roof, siding, and mechanicals, while retaining its distinctive architectural character. A contributing property in the Short Beach National Register Historic District, this home offers a rare blend of coastal charm, historic detail, and modern comfort.
