About This Home

As of October 2019

Just blocks to the 70 acre Douglas Preserve, beach access, and tucked in a quiet corner of the Mesa, this Mid-Century Modern home was remodeled to reflect relaxed, seaside living. The oversized courtyard is private with a hot tub and outdoor shower...perfect for entertaining or just catching the sound of waves at night. South facing walls of glass bring the outdoors into the Great Room with its soothing tones and contemporary styling. Here find a fireplace, sitting and dining areas, and kitchen complete with custom cabinetry, granite counters and large island. The master has high ceilings, walk-in closet and bath of marble with dual vanities. A guest suite, two additional bedrooms and a third bath complete the living quarters. This home is truly a tranquil and tasteful home by the sea.
