OPEN HOUSE
WATERFRONT TINY HOME
and all sorts of water fowl sightings.
And, easy-to-maintain native plantings
on a 6,223 square-foot lot.
“Enjoy the beach and you can moor
your boat right outside,” says Reiss.
This is East End living at its best for
$429,000. The house may come fully
furnished if the price is right.
“Those amazing water views make
this cozy cottage seem bigger,” says
Trading Places owner/broker Paul
Reiss. “It’s absolutely adorable.”
And it’s hard to resist the home’s
location.
Rosie Reiss adds, “Gorgeous sunsets
and moon-watching all over the lot
and inside the entire cottage.”
Prices for tiny houses vary, and they
come in all shapes, styles, and sizes
(even less than 200 square feet) and
are often sold on wheels so they can
be transported to different locations.
This charming beach cottage would
be considered quite grand in the
realm of tiny dwellings.
The tiny homes movement has been
gaining momentum across the U.S.
and becoming more popular on the
Island, especially with retirees looking
to downsize and cut down on the
monthly costs of maintaining larger
homes.
The spacious and entertaining open living room/dining area has amazing water views.
With affordable housing getting
scarcer in New York, going tiny is a
great option for anyone who wants
to save money and enjoy a simpler
lifestyle. That said, there are zoning
restrictions on Long Island and
other considerations, especially for
tiny homes with foundations.
While tiny living has its financial,
practical and emotional advantages,
and works well for many singles,
couples and even families, adjusting
to that lifestyle can be extremely
challenging for most.
The upside: Living large with less
frees up people from the burden of
having too much stuff, and paying
mortgages or high rents and skyhigh
electric bills, etc. That means
peace of mind along with having
more quality time and extra money
for family activities, outdoor
adventures, traveling, and other
pursuits.
It’s all about a minimalist mindset,
making do with life’s bare necessities,
and a commitment to living tiny.
Sometimes, less is more.
