About This Home

As of June 2016

Have you ever wanted your home to be the envy of everyone walking down the street to the beach? This gorgeous--but not ostentatious--home makes every passerby turn in admiration of the beach character & modern allure. Lovingly renovated over the last ten years from head to toe, this is going to be a hard property for it's current owner to let go of. After the meticulous remodel way beyond a normal kitchen/bath Home Depot renovation including: Nest thermostat, Ring Wifi Video doorbell, tankless water heater, instant hot water faucet, rain shower, Johnson Art Studio lighting, built in speakers, & smooth coat stucco. Why spend thousands of dollars banging your head on a wall fixing some funky/junky beach home--why not buy this rad beach house with everything dialed in for almost the same price? For icing on the cake; this home is only three short blocks from the beach pathway, has good ocean peeks, & you can hear the ocean at night. Sure to not last long, Open Sat & Sun 1-4p & Mon 12-3p
