Here is your once-in-a-generation chance to plant roots or pour a foundation on one of the most coveted barrier islands on the entire New England coast. Plum Island is an 11-mile barrier island named for the wild beach plums that grow in its sandy dunes. Right at the heart of it all sits 32 Plum Island Blvd .25 acre lot w/ roots going back to 1935, now ready for a bold new vision. The existing structure has lived a full life. Now it's time to let the land speak. Whether you choose to tear down & build fresh or gut-renovate and reimagine, this lot offers something no amount of money can manufacture: location, ocean proximity, & the soul of Plum Island. Envision a custom-designed coastal home rising from this footprint- soaring ceilings of glass that frame the Atlantic, wide-plank white oak floors, wraparound decks where salt air replaces every worry, & a rooftop perch from which you can watch the sun melt into the Parker River marsh to the west while the full moon rises over the ocean.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 637 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,274 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 10,711 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
