Set on a well-proportioned .21-acre homesite along a private paved road, the home presents classic coastal architecture with fiber cement siding, a durable metal roof, and a raised foundation. A welcoming front porch introduces the home's relaxed elegance, while rear garage entry preserves a clean, architectural streetscape.

The primary suite is located on the main living level and serves as a private retreat with a spacious layout, dual vanities, and a walk-in tiled shower. A second main-level bedroom also features a full en-suite bath, offering flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. The thoughtful split-bedroom design enhances privacy and livability.
Upstairs, a private third bedroom suite includes its own full bath and an additional den, creating a versatile space ideal for guests, a media room, or home office. This upper-level retreat adds valuable flexibility without compromising the home's primary living flow.
