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. With a short walk less than 700 feet to 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 installed in 2022-mean you can move in and relax from day one. The manageable yard has 2 sheds for extra storage. The oversized driveway allows space for guest parking during the summer months or boat storage year round. 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.
