About This Home

As of November 2025

STUNNING OCEANFRONT HOME YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT TO MISS! This 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath coastal retreat pairs sweeping Atlantic views with a bright, open design made for gathering. The top level showcases a vaulted, wood-plank ceiling, walls of windows, conveniently located wet bar, gas fireplace and a spacious great room that flows to a gorgeous, updated white kitchen with stainless appliances, subway-tile backsplash, and generous bar seating. The generous primary suite and a half bath complete the top level. Four additional bedrooms— including a custom bunk room the kids will absolutely love—are comfortably sized for family and guests. From the mid-level primary bedroom, you have a view truly like no other...large picture windows allow for unobstructed ocean views over the pool that you must see to appreciate. Designed for easy living, enjoy a built-in dumbwaiter for effortless transport of groceries and bags to the main living areas. Step outside to a stunning oceanside pool and expansive sun decks. An adjacent beach access provides an easy path to the sand. And the best part? No private walkway to maintain! Thoughtful updates over the years, meticulous care, and a history of private use (not a rental) mean the home shows beautifully and is truly turn-key. A long concrete drive, under-house parking, and a landscaped lawn complete the picture. This is the oceanfront you’ve been waiting for.
