About This Home
As of February 2025This is a one-of-a-kind incredibly special chic property located on one of the best streets on the American Riviera. This hits all the high notes for your most discerning buyers, a turnkey single level contemporary with gorgeous ocean & Stearn's Wharf views. Located just steps from the Belmond El Encanto Resort & Franceschi Park, this 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home has been lovingly updated with new lighting inside & out, freshly painted interior, Bosch appliances, wood flooring and new carpet in the master bedroom. The driveway was built out for easy turn around in front of the 2-car attached garage. A storage shed with electricity and new flooring has been added. The backyard is an entertainer's dream with full view deck off the kitchen and two flat areas. All of this on a meticulously lush landscaped corner lot.
