Property Description
Experience coastal living at its best on one of the rare oversized lots on the island. Set on an expansive 50x200 lot, this beautifully updated beach home offers a level of privacy, space, and sweeping sound views that are truly hard to find. As you step onto the covered front porch, gentle breezes welcome you in and provide a cool, relaxing escape year-round. Inside, the home opens to a bright, tranquil interior painted in a soft seafoam palette, creating a peaceful atmosphere from the moment you enter. The thoughtful layout frames the home's greatest feature: unobstructed, 180-degree views of the sound stretching across the back of the property. In the evenings, the back patio becomes your front-row seat to breathtaking sunsets in shades of pink, lavender, and gold. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, excellent storage, and stainless-steel appliances--including an oven, refrigerator microwave, and dishwasher. The primary suite is generously sized for island living, featuring a walk-in closet, updated vanity and mirrors, a walk-in shower, and a large soaking tub. A refreshed second bathroom and a dedicated laundry room with a stackable washer/dryer add comfort and convenience for guests or family. Outside, a freshly painted deck enhances the home's coastal charm. Beneath the home, you'll find ample covered parking, room for outdoor entertaining, and a craftsman-style storage shed ideal for tools, beach gear, or hobbies. An attractive flood insurance premium --potentially assumable -- adds peace of mind and additional value. With its rare lot size, stunning sound views, and move-in-ready updates, this property delivers the space, serenity, and island lifestyle you've been dreaming of. Come experience this special slice of coastal paradise for yourself. Used as a short-term rental in the past with a $73k 3-year avg gross revenue, Airbnb and Direct.
