Charming & Beautifully Maintained Coastal Cottage! Ideally situated just seven rows from the shoreline, this centrally located Island beach house has been tastefully updated and is exactly what you've been searching for. Cheerful seaside-blue, low-maintenance vinyl siding offers instant curb appeal, while expansive front and rear porches invite you to sit back and savor the coastal breeze.
Inside, the light-filled interior exudes relaxed coastal charm. Coastal-chic décor, durable LVP wood-look flooring, two new HVAC units, and a vaulted ceiling set the stage for comfort and style. The beautifully updated kitchen features solid-surface countertops, a tile backsplash, and an undermount sink--perfect for preparing fresh island fare. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, making entertaining effortless.
Two bright and welcoming main-level bedrooms are perfect for guests or little ones and share a conveniently updated hall bath. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers plush carpeting and direct access to a refreshed bath highlighted by a skylight that fills the space with natural light. The sunny loft opens to a private upper deck with western exposure--an ideal spot to enjoy breathtaking sunset views.
Just a short stroll away, the silky sands and sparkling shoreline await via the handicap-accessible 3rd Street beach walkway. Downstairs, enjoy a shaded swing, fenced area for pets, easy-care yard, and an outdoor shower with sink for quick cleanups after a day at the beach.
Don't miss the opportunity to start making cherished memories in your very own island retreat!
