Description

A Serene Retreat Just Minutes from the Beach Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced over the years by the same devoted owner, this one-of-a-kind home exudes warmth, tranquility, and a Zen-like ambiance both inside and out. From the moment you arrive, lush, mature landscaping invites you to slow down and savor your surroundings. A curated collection of Crepe Myrtles, Japanese Maple, Dogwood, Holly, and a cherished, fruit-bearing fig tree create a serene natural setting. Step onto the charming wooden deck, where multiple seating areas offer the perfect perch to enjoy morning coffee, birdwatching, or a peaceful evening under the stars. Enter the home through the sunroom or via a breezy screened-in porch. The sunroom, designed as a tranquil oasis, features a grand Palladian window that frames both sunrise and moonrise views. Vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and a cozy gas fireplace make this space ideal for curling up with a good book, enjoying quiet moments by the fire, or converting it into a formal dining or private sitting room with the simple closure of French doors. Inside, the open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living room, breakfast nook, and a fully remodeled kitchen, a space perfect for both everyday cooking and festive holiday gatherings. Custom granite countertops, 42inch Maplewood cabinets, a double stainless-steel sink, and handcrafted ceramic tile flooring lend elegance and function. A charming breakfast nook offers morning sun. From here, step into the screened-in breezeway, with its refreshing cross-ventilation, it makes a shady, peaceful retreat on warm summer days. Hardwood floors extend down the main hallway, leading to five generously sized bedrooms, including two potential primary suites. One ensuite has been tastefully renovated with a walk-in tiled shower, new vanity, LVP flooring, updated lighting, and mirror. The rear primary suite offers a serene bay window overlooking the backyard, a peaceful sitting area, and a spacious walk-in closet. Its private bath features a built-in makeup vanity, a rejuvenating jacuzzi tub, and thoughtful design for everyday luxury. At the rear of the home, a hall extension serves as a practical mudroom with a coat closet—perfect for entering after beach outings or tending to the backyard rose and vegetable gardens. A private outdoor shower makes rinsing off after sandy adventures a breeze. Storage is abundant, with ample closets, an attic, and a loft above the two-car garage, which is connected to the main house by a screened breezeway entrance. Thoughtfully designed remote-controlled shades in the sunroom, breakfast nook and living room, a bay window for growing flowering plants like orchids, and an air scrubber system that purifies indoor air all contribute to a clean, healthy, and vibrant living environment. The neighborhood itself offers lifestyle perks like a scenic nature trail at the end of the street along the canal—ideal for morning walks or peaceful kayak or paddleboard excursions. From here, you can stroll or bike to a variety of local favorites, including coffee at Clove & Cedar, fresh juice from the Juice Box, Bonky’s ice cream, Cocolo Sushi, Grotto Pizza, and even the beach or Bethany’s boardwalk festivities.
