About This Home

As of July 2020

Wake up to stunning ocean views from the master bedroom of this mid-century gem. This 3, possibly 4 bedroom home has been beautifully updated while preserving timeless beach character and charm including wide-plank hardwood floors and high wood ceilings with exposed beams. The main level features a totally remodeled kitchen for entertaining, with sliders opening to a large covered deck. The next level offers a fully equipped snack bar open to a spacious vaulted living room. More glass sliding doors leading to another large screened porch, expanded by the current owner. This spacious home could easily be converted to have a 4th bedroom as originally designed. Walk less than half a block to a pristine wide beach, or stay on the porch and enjoy the views and peace of the protected State Park lands. Located in the community of Tower Shores, the Atlantic Watergate residents are offered access to the tennis courts and park. The location is just steps to Matt s Fish Camp, a popular restaurant, or walk the beach about a mile to The Big Chill Restaurant and Beach Club at the Indian River Inlet. Surf fishing, a marina, and boating is all nearby. This is an excellent beach getaway!
