About This Home
Welcome to this charming split-level home, a sturdy and timeless retreat tucked away in a peaceful wooded setting. Surrounded by mature trees on over half an acre, this property offers privacy, nature views, and the feeling of being in the country, yet it’s only eight miles from the beach and close to shopping, dining, wineries, golf and everyday conveniences. Best of all, there’s no HOA, giving you the freedom to make the space your own.
The home’s classic partial brick exterior and solid construction have truly stood the test of time, complemented by thoughtful modern updates including new flooring and fresh interior paint. The roof was partially replaced in 2020, with the majority newly completed in December 2024, offering peace of mind for years to come. Inside, the main level features a welcoming living room with new LVP flooring.
The kitchen, located at the back of the home, features new hardwood flooring, and a large window that fills the space with natural light and offers a beautiful view of the outdoors. White painted cabinetry, a double sink with a backyard view, built-in microwave, and space for a table make it both functional and inviting. A convenient pass-through to the living room create an easy flow between spaces, perfect for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, each with new LVP flooring and peaceful views of the surrounding trees, along with a full bathroom. One bedroom features a deep closet and a view of the backyard, offering a relaxing retreat at the end of the day. You will also find a hall storage closet on this floor.
The lower level adds flexibility with a spacious family room featuring a charming brick accent wall and a wood-burning stove that adds warmth and character. While a separate entrance sheltered by an awning with walkout stairs to the backyard makes this level ideal for guests or a future bedroom suite. On the lower level there is also a large utility room, which houses the washer and dryer, offers plenty of storage space and the potential for a future bathroom.
Step out from the kitchen to a wood deck with a ramp, overlooking a tranquil, tree-filled backyard. Electric service is already run to a post where a previous shed once stood, offering a perfect spot for a new shed or detached garage. A long, private driveway adds to the convenience and country charm.
Blending rustic warmth with practical updates and coastal proximity, this inviting home offers peaceful living in a natural setting without HOA restrictions and just a short drive to the beach.
