- Remarks addendumAbout the area...part of the Nature Conservancy The Pratt and Post Cove Preserve is known for its pristine freshwater tidal marshes hosting a variety of wildlife. There are no gas engines allowed in the cove. The MLS shows that most of area is labeled in a AE flood zone...however the house appears to be in X. The owner does not pay flood insurance...see attached insurance determination which says it is a BX flood Zone...and elevation certificate will be provided shortly but be sure to check with your insurance agent and bank/mortgage company to see if flood insurance may be required for your type of policy or loan program. Tesla charger hook-up installed. The Street Card has currently been amended to reflect the proper square footage and now includes the bonus room over the garage. The bonus room could be an ideal au-pair or in-law suite. The shed has a newer roof but needs some work and is being offered in "AS IS" condition. The kayak dock does not have a permit but was in place when owners purchased the property. The town has acknowledged there is dock on the street card and homeowner is and has been taxed on it. It is being conveyed "as is" with no expressed warranties or guarantees.
