About This Home

As of February 2012

Spectacular bay views? You betcha! Sit-down views too. None of that "standing-up-to-peek-through" view but sitting down on your couch to gander at the blue. One of the nicest 2 bed 1 bath homes on the market today. Not to be missed. Another quality remodel by the Lehman Design Studio with nearly new everything. Wonderful tightly-knit friendly neighborhood too, everybody knows everybody!
