About This Home

As of May 2025

Woods Cove Beach Cottage, conveniently located two blocks from the beach, offers a secluded retreat for those seeking the authentic beach lifestyle. The cottage features a classic Dutch door leading to a fully remodeled galley-style kitchen. Equipped with upgraded stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop and range, a new dishwasher, quartz countertops, and laminate floors.

The open-beamed ceiling in the living room is complemented by a cozy fireplace adorned with crushed glass, brick, and upgraded fireplace doors. Custom-built bookcases and shelves, along with an entire wall of windows that flood the living room with natural light, create an inviting ambiance. A beautifully crafted wooden and wrought iron door leads to the private side yard patio, complete with an awning, offering an ideal spot for al fresco dining and enjoying the refreshing summer breezes.

On one side of the living room, a converted garage space houses a small office/bedroom, complete with a closet, window, ceiling fan with light, and old double-folding French glass doors that maintain the cottage’s charm while incorporating modern amenities.

The master bedroom, situated at the back of the cottage, opens to the living room. It boasts a cedar-lined closet and a sliding door leading to a spacious private backyard. The beautifully appointed bathroom features a walk-in shower and a timeless remodel with an updated vanity.

The exterior yard is landscaped with mature trees, including a lemon tree, and includes an outdoor shower, a private closet area with storage and laundry facilities, and a side gate that ensures secure access to the property and backyard.

The front garage is a small storage space for additional items with a manual door lock. The cottage’s proximity to restaurants, trolley service, beach, and shopping amenities makes it an ideal base for exploring the local area.

A private driveway accommodates two cars comfortably, providing ample parking space.
