Peaceful Living by the Bay - Perfect for Downsizing! Looking to simplify without sacrificing charm or location? This move-in ready 3-bedroom, 1-bath rancher is the ideal opportunity for anyone craving a slower pace, less maintenance, and more time to enjoy the good life. Tucked on a quiet corner lot next to a protected nature reserve, this single-level home offers peace, privacy, and natural beauty-with low maintenance. Just a short walk to the bay front, you'll love starting your mornings with coastal breezes and winding down with sunset walks to the community pier. Inside, enjoy a warm and inviting open layout, complete with a cozy wood stove and a splash of personality from the bright red front door. Major updates-roof, HVAC, water softener, and well pump-all done within the last 3 years-mean you can move in and relax from day one. The manageable yard has 2 sheds for extra storage and a roomy driveway (with space for a boat or guests), and surrounding greenery make outdoor living simple and serene. Plus, the neighboring nature reserve means no new development next door-ever. If you're ready to downsize to comfort, convenience, and coastal charm, this is the home for you.
