About 1588 Turtle Head Rd

The property includes a beautifully renovated mid-century modern home with two bedrooms and a spacious, open floor plan designed to capture natural light and maximize the water views. There is also a versatile garage/barn with a fully redone one-bedroom guest apartment above, perfect for hosting extended family and friends.
