About This Home
As of April 2024This single level, adorable beach house, is tucked away in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Rio Del Mar! Boasting an open and bright living/dining room area w/ a cozy fireplace, an artistically updated kitchen with quartz countertops and newer appliances, two beautifully updated bathrooms, newer wood flooring, a separate laundry room and double pane windows. The kitchen and master bedroom access the outside entertaining areas and the fully fenced yard offers plenty of sun and privacy. An attached garage with ample driveway space provide off street parking. Hidden Beach, Rio Del Mar Beach, the Seaview trail to Platforms and local Beer Can Beach are a short walk or bike ride away! Enjoy plenty of lazy days and easy evening strolls to view the incredibly beautiful sunsets. This is a neighborhood of walkers, many with dogs, and lots of friendly conversations along the way. Golf, shopping, fine and casual dining are also a part of the wonderful local experience. It's a good life!
