This beautifully designed building sits right on the water and is reasonably priced: starting at $630K to $4.2M for a 5000 SF Townhouse.

TESTIMONIALS
"Working with Joelle was an absolute pleasure. We bought and sold one unit in six months for a substantial gain, Then repurchase a newer better "Off the Market" unit. She is tenacious and honest and has the utmost integrity. The key is to trust their ways and it will all come together. She knows the market well and is "in the know" of deals happening. The people that make up this business are hard working and accurate. I chose Joelle for all these reasons and is my realtor I will continue to use in the future."
