Ideal for guests or rental use. Throughout the property, open-beam ceilings, abundant natural light, wood flooring, and inviting architectural details add warmth and timeless character. Two single-car garages provide valuable off-street parking. An undeniable asset this close to the sand. Whether enjoyed as a full-time residence with supplemental income, a multi-generational compound, or a pure investment play, the property offers multiple revenue streams and strong ARV potential in a premier coastal setting.
