About This Home

Rare in-town beachfront house. You'll love the joys of spectacular sunrises, moonrises and fun-filled beach days that grace this Whiteford designed and built home on East Bay. The architecture and materials delight at every turn. Main floor primary, an office overlooking the water, a perfect deck for entertaining or peaceful days. The Ipe wood deck, stone patios and gardens overlook a gorgeous sandy beach with perfect boating and swimming conditions. No more than ten minutes from almost everything in town. Great biking, walking or running right outside your door. It's even more perfect than it sounds. Come see - but hurry.
