Enjoy ocean views from this X-flood zone property situated on a large lot in Whalehead. This home boasts a reverse floor plan with open flow, spacious bedrooms, multiple decks, and a great outdoor pool area with Cabana. The spacious upper level of the property offers ocean views, a Master bedroom, Ships Watch, and a bright open kitchen with breakfast bar. Lots of linear counterspace and cabinet storage make this a very comfortable kitchen to work in. The open living and dining areas are large and filled with natural light. The overall décor is relaxed and comfortable with a beachy vibe. A wonderful screened porch is on the south side of the house to capture ocean sunrise and sound sunset- a great place for outdoor relaxing or al fresco dining. But if its sun you want, an expansive top deck wraps almost all the way around the house. Convenient stairs from the top deck to the mid-level covered deck (which wraps around ¾ of the home) allows easy access between levels. The mid-level is where you will find an En Suite bedroom, double bunk room, the third guest bedroom, and another full hall bathroom, as well as the laundry. If all this inside space isn't enough, there's also plenty of room to spread out by the pool too. The very generous pool deck won't have everyone sitting on top of each other! The poolside Cabana is a great place to relax and enjoy your favorite summer beverage after a swim or dip in the hot tub. Not only does this home have ocean views from multiple spots, spacious rooms, a reverse floor plan and great outdoor options, it has a strong rental history. It hits all the boxes that an investment buyer wants!
