Situated on a mostly level lot, this beautifully remodeled home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an office/bonus room that can double as a 4th bedroom. Thoughtfully designed for ease of access, the home features primarily single-level living, with only five steps leading down to the primary suite and bonus room. The detached two-car garage is ideally located on the same level as the main living spaces, offering direct, step-free access to the front entrance.
Inside, vaulted ceilings and stunning hardwood floors create an open and airy ambiance throughout. The updated kitchen and inviting living spaces are perfect for entertaining or enjoying quiet moments, while partial ocean views from the living room and back deck add a touch of coastal magic.
Outside, a large private patio invites you to relax, garden, or host gatherings, complete with a garden shed for additional storage. The spacious two-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, plus there is an EV plug, a work area, and storage solutions. This turn-key home, remodeled in 2015, is ideal as a primary residence or a second home getaway.
