Are you worried about climate change? Anxious that it will bring more frequent flooding to the Jersey Shore?
It’s happening already in some places. Margate may or may not be one of them. But the good news is, you will be ready for whatever nature dishes out if you buy this Margate raised cottage house for sale.
That’s because it rises above its neighbors, as the picture above shows. And that’s because its owner had a new, higher foundation built under the house.
Basement garage area
This above-ground basement gives you plenty of space inside to park your cars, stow goods, put in a home office or gym, or what-have-you. The laundry facilities are also located down here.
Main living area
Up one level you will find a nicely outfitted, beautifully maintained traditional cottage with two stories.

Dining room
The dining room sits next to the bar and is open to both.
Den
A bedroom and a full bath sit off the den next to the main living area. Here you will find a second fireplace.
Primary bedroom
The upper floor contains three bedrooms and two baths.
Primary bathroom
The primary bathroom has a skylight and a jetted soaking tub.
Because this house rises above its surroundings, its flood insurance premiums are super low. That will leave you with extra money to spend in Margate and environs, and this Margate raised cottage house for sale makes a great starting point for exploring the town. It lies just above Marven Gardens and is just a few blocks from both the beach and the bay.
