CLOSE TO THE BEACH

It’s definitely a sleeper from the street but the inside will deliver a big WOW factor so don’t judge the book by its jacket. The grey shelldash exterior is seeking some colorful landscaping to add a bit of splash to the outside.

Come inside and pause a moment to take in the super volume ceilings, the clean and simple lines defining the open floor plan, the skylights that invite diffused sunshine into the gathering spaces and imagine how you would use these generous rooms to fit your lifestyle. Ample wall space allows for several seating arrangements in the living room but be sure to have a couple of chairs facing the fireplace should a chilly evening pass this way again this season.

The kitchen and dining room wrap around the living room so gatherings of any size will have great flow and no one will feel left out if they’re on kitchen duty. The dining room can easily accommodate the largest table and still have room to move around. On temperate days and nights you can open the sliders and spill out to the 21′ x 14′ patio just outside. The en-suite master is a generous and restful retreat with a walk-in closet and direct access to the covered part of the patio. You can enjoy the first cup of coffee out there and wake up with the early morning song birds. The other two bedrooms flank the hall bath at the front and center of the house so privacy is assured.

The backyard gets equal parts of sun and shade so if gardening is your thing, this is the place to do it. Don’t be fooled by the fence – the property extends further back so you can incorporate the additional greenspace by moving the fence. If you’re bringing four-legged friends there is a low-impact dog run in place. If not, we’ll happily take it down for you. A two-car garage is always handy – especially when you live so close to the beach and need room for boards, bikes and kayaks (and maybe a car or two).

From here it’s an easy bike ride to the State Park and its beautiful non-driving beach or to the Amphitheatre for all kinds of concerts and the outstanding Saturday Farmer’s Market where you can spend hours checking out the amazing wares and food and live music. Survey and elevation certificate on file (and yes, you meet the elevation requirements). Island living is a good thing – come check it out.
