This coastal home is a perfect blend of beauty and convenience, offering a prime location. Situated right beside the public beach access at 20th Pl West, you'll enjoy the ocean practically at your doorstep. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a vacation getaway, or a lucrative rental property, this home fits the bill. The partially covered front porch/deck combo features low-maintenance Trex flooring and vinyl rails. Entering the front doors, you'll be greeted by a bright, open floor plan and two-story family room. The space is flooded with natural light from large windows providing stunning ocean views. Newly installed hardwood floors (2022) flow throughout the entire 1st floor.
The beautiful kitchen, remodeled in 2022, showcases white and gray cottage-style cabinetry with soft-close features, a striking aqua tile backsplash, quartz countertops, open shelving, and a spacious island. For added convenience, the pantry features pull-out drawers. Stainless steel appliances (except the refrigerator, new in 2021) were all upgraded in 2022. The high end range includes an induction stovetop.
The first floor houses two large bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bath. The design features separate sinks and toilets adjacent to each bedroom, with a shared shower/tub in between.
Upstairs, you'll find two additional spacious bedrooms. One bedroom opens to a full bath with shower/tub combo. While the other offers a vanity area with a private door leading into the shared bath. One of the bedrooms also features a balcony overlooking the light and bright family room.
A newly installed cargo lift (2024) at the rear of the home provides a convenient and fully covered dry entry from beneath the house to a covered rear porch. Underneath the home, there's extra storage space for beach equipment as well as an oversized outdoor shower complete with a bench and hot and cold water. The home offers peace of mind with a fortified roof and HVAC and ductwork replaced in 2021.
