Just two short blocks from the shore, this coastal retreat delivers the kind of everyday living most people only dream about on vacation. This home blurs the line between inside and out. Wrap-around windows in the kitchen and dining area draw your eye straight out to the yard and covered deck, a naturally shaded retreat perfect for lazy summer afternoons while the kids and pets run freely in the level, fully fenced backyard. Above, the primary suite's private deck looks out over it all, with the ocean views teasing through the tree line. The open floor plan is flooded with natural light, anchored by a gourmet kitchen that flows seamlessly to the outdoor living space. Whether you step outside or not, you always have the view. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bath impress at every turn. The primary suite is a true escape, featuring a large custom closet, a charming reading nook, and French doors that open to an expansive private deck with sweeping water views. Watch the sun rise and set across the ocean's gleaming horizon without ever leaving home. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated - newer roof, windows, furnace, hot water heater, and appliances - giving you peace of mind from day one. Outside, a solid privacy fence surrounds the meticulously landscaped yard, while a paver walkway leads to an open patio made for long summer nights and cookouts! This is more than a home - it's the beach lifestyle! Come see why there's truly no better place to relax, recharge, and start your next chapter.
