163 S St

A single-story condominium conversion dating to 1880, this small, low-rise complex preserves period exterior character while offering modest, updated one-bedroom residences. The architecture reflects late 19th-century shingle- and stone-influenced detailing: clapboard or shingle facades, stone walls and a classic porch with pillars. Units are primarily single-level one-bed layouts with defined entry foyers, eat-in kitchens, and opportunistic home-office alcoves. Interiors blend original proportions—high ceilings and oversized windows—with modern updates such as newer kitchens, baths, carpeting, and in some cases air conditioning and granite counters. Shared building amenities are simple and practical: a common foyer, on-site laundry, basement and porch storage, plus assigned or deeded outdoor parking. Exterior features include a covered deck, private garden plots, rain gutters, and stone retaining walls that anchor the landscaped grounds. Pet policies vary by unit but listings indicate pets are often allowed. The property sits within a compact village environment with short walks to downtown services, beaches, commuter connections and local hospitals, supporting a mixed seasonal and year-round occupancy pattern and appealing to buyers seeking a compact, character-rich coastal residence with low-rise, manageable communal ownership.
