Whether you're seeking a weekend sanctuary, a full-time beach bungalow, or a high-design alternative to an apartment, this is a rare find. Located just moments from Sea Watch Beach and the area's best artisan cafes, this is more than a house--it's an invitation to live with intention.
This four-bedroom coastal cottage offers timeless tradition and modern livability, tucked on a dead end just two blocks to the beach. A broad front porch to enjoy the salty breeze, while painted cedar siding stands up beautifully to the sea air. Inside, the open living and dining areas connect to a galley kitchen with a pass-through. White board walls, weathered wainscoting, and painted wood floors add authentic shore charm. One bedroom on the first floor and three upstairs. "Shells and Whistles"
