This floor could be used as a perfect in-law suite, a private office or a getaway area in a busy household. Also included in this listing is 117 Beach Avenue, a seasonal cottage that started life as a mess hall at a R.I. army base during WW2. It was brought to Madison on a barge & placed in its current location w/the workers being paid with 3 bushels of lobster. It’s now a picture book 1 BR, 1 bath bungalow with a combo LR/kitchen + a covered porch & outdoor shower. Beyond wonderful!
