Avoid the chaos of the local public boat-ramp facilities. A 3 bedroom perc (improvement) permit has been issued. The deeded building restrictions are very reasonable. Very few undeveloped waterfront lots are available in the entire area. No building time-frame required. Washington Acres is a lovely community on the southern tip of Hampstead.
