Coastal character radiates through every corner, from the sun-filled dining room with its elegant tray ceiling to the beautifully updated kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and new Pella sliding doors. Step outside into your private, manicured yard  an oasis where you can bask in the sunshine, relax on the floating decks, and listen to the soothing sound of waves during high tide. Originally designed as a four-bedroom, the home has been thoughtfully reconfigured into three, creating a spacious and serene primary suite, along with an upstairs guest bedroom and a versatile downstairs room ideal for guests or a home office.
