Welcome home! Whether you're a first-time buyer ready to stop renting, looking to downsize for a simpler lifestyle, or searching for your next smart investment opportunity, this beautifully refreshed home checks all the boxes. Situated on an almost ½-acre lot outside the city limits (hello, no city taxes!), this centrally located property offers easy access to Marine Corps bases, beaches, shopping, dining, and entertainment--making it equally appealing as a primary residence or a potential short- or long term rental opportunity. Over the past six months, this home has undergone extensive improvements to prepare it for its new owners. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with brand-new cabinetry and quartz countertops, creating a modern and functional space for cooking and gathering. New LVP flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by a fresh coat of paint, updated smoke detectors, and new blinds--giving the entire interior a clean, move-in-ready feel. In addition to the recent upgrades, major components have already been taken care of in recent years, including the HVAC system, roof, and windows--providing peace of mind for years to come. The bright and welcoming living area offers a comfortable space to relax or entertain. The thoughtfully designed kitchen provides generous cabinet and counter space. Each bedroom features ample storage and attractive ceiling fan/light fixtures. The attached carport adds everyday convenience with direct access into the laundry room. Be sure to check out the additional storage room off the carport for all your tools, beach gear, or hobby items. With its spacious lot offering room to expand, garden, or simply enjoy outdoor living, this property provides so many possibilities for a young family starting out, retirees seeking low-maintenance comfort, or investors looking for strong rental appeal. Homes at this price point--especially with this many updates and location benefits--don't come along often.
