Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened front porch, host summer cookouts on the expansive multi-level rear deck, rinse off after a day at the beach in the tropical-style outdoor shower, or gather around the firepit under the stars. The fenced backyard provides plenty of room for pets, play, and outdoor entertaining, while the generous homesite offers abundant parking for guests, boats, trailers, and recreational equipment. Recent improvements provide peace of mind and move-in-ready convenience, including new plumbing, electrical systems, downstairs windows, kitchen appliances, tankless water heater, paint, fencing, kitchen flooring, a newer HVAC system, and a newer roof. The bathrooms have been updated, and a former half bath was converted into a full bath for added functionality. Rarely does a property offer this much privacy, flexibility, outdoor living space, and proximity to the beach. Bring your boat, bring your pets, and start enjoying the coastal lifestyle you've been dreaming about.
