Offering over 4,400 square feet of thoughtfully crafted space, as well as an in-ground saltwater pool, you will experience an elevated lifestyle where beautiful coastal surroundings, active community traditions, and meaningful connections make every day feel like a retreat. There are many focal points in this exceptional residence, starting with the classic double front porches, where a stately entry-way and stunning wood-clad ceiling immediately set the tone. Upon entering, you are welcomed by impressive high ceilings, abundant natural light, gleaming hardwood floors, and rich craftsman moulding and trim, all serving to enhance the sense of space and provide a warm, inviting backdrop for everyday living and effortless entertaining.

The gourmet kitchen is well-appointed with a large gas range, double oven, abundant cabinetry, and wet bar with beverage refrigerator. The first-floor layout continues to flow seamlessly to reveal an updated laundry/mudroom and half-bath conveniently tucked away off the garage entry, as well as a dedicated office, library, or sitting room with its own fireplace overlooking the front porch, which also transitions naturally to the primary suite. The expansive suite features plantation shutters, custom closet-shelving, large bath with oversized shower and soaking tub, and conveniently extends to the screened porch, allowing a second direct access to the expanded patio, saltwater pool, fire pit and private, lush backyard. Another elegant focal point is the gracious open staircase and statement chandelier, which ascends to a second level en suite bedroom with full bath, two additional bedrooms and an updated shared bath. An expansive bonus room - currently home to a pool table with dry bar and beverage fridge - adds versatile recreation space, with an additional second flex room providing even more options for work, fitness, hobbies or guests. Enhancing the home's turnkey appeal is a substantial list of improvements that offer both peace-of-mind and pride of ownership. Both the interior and exterior have been freshly painted, the sealed crawlspace has been recently inspected, both HVAC units were replaced in 2020/2021, a new mini-split added in 2026, a new pool pump and filter in 2025, and a new roof was installed in 2020.
