Welcome to your slice of coastal living. This light-filled townhouse-style condo combines the comfort of a single-family home with the ease of a boutique 8-unit community. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you’re minutes from beaches, parks, shops, and the ferry. The main living area is designed for gathering, with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and a cozy gas fireplace and bamboo hardwood flooring throughout. The open kitchen blends style and function with quartz countertops, shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious pantry. Upstairs, a generous deck invites you to relax while enjoying views of the lagoon and swaying palms. Downstairs, two bedrooms each offer ensuite baths and private outdoor access, with the primary suite opening directly to a tranquil patio. Updated baths and abundant storage make everyday living easy. An attached two-car garage with a versatile walk-in workspace adds even more flexibility. Just steps from a private dock with lagoon access, this home is the perfect balance of coastal charm and modern convenience. Washington Park, Maya Lin Elementary, Webster Street dining, Crown Beach, and the Farmers Market are all just around the corner, with easy access for commuters.
