Property Description

At the end of a cul-de-sac, just a block and a half from the ocean, this home is all about relaxed living and smart design. The living room opens through French doors to a flagstone patio bordered by mature plantings, giving you a private spot to enjoy a morning coffee or catch up with friends in the fresh air. Inside, a wood-burning fireplace brings warmth on cool nights, and the kitchen is set up for cooks, with Corian counters, plenty of cabinets, soft-close drawers, newer appliances, a breakfast bar, and dining area all connected to the living space. Three bedrooms offer comfortable retreats, with the primary bedroom opening right out to the landscaped backyard, an easy spot to unwind at the end of the day. Bathrooms have been fully remodeled, with tile up to the ceiling. Down the hall, a utility room and pantry keep storage simple. A rec room downstairs gives you options, with a wet bar, new carpet, its own entrance, and space for play, work, or guests. Theres plenty of room to breathe here, both inside and out, with the yard, courtyard, and minimal street traffic keeping things quiet. Natural Bridges and Wilder Park are minutes away, and the street ends with only a handful of neighbors, creating true coastal calm without feeling isolated.
