Awash with the warmth of the morning sun, you can relax with a good book and a cup of coffee. Look up when you enter the open concept living/dining/kitchen to see the
breathtaking cathedral ceiling with huge wooden beams. The new kitchen boasts custom cabinets, subway tiles, a farmhouse sink, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A breakfast bar for a quick bite before hitting the beach, and a separate dining area for a great dinner after a long day of shopping. A master suite with a full bath w/tub, and a second full bath with walk-in shower; central air and hardwood floor throughout. The beautifully landscaped backyard with patio sitting area, outdoor shower, and off-street parking complete the picture.
