PRICED TO SELL! Tucked away on a picturesque cul-de-sac in the newer section of Ocean Acres, where underground utilities replace dated telephone poles, lies a home that masterfully blends contemporary elegance with the timeless charm of a classic neighborhood. As you arrive, the expansive driveway greets you, complete with an additional stone parking area, bordered by mature privacy hedges and a pristine white vinyl fence. The colonial-style home exudes curb appeal, featuring striking black-trimmed Pella windows, a newer front door, and bold black garage doors. A beautifully designed brick paver walkway and custom paver steps lead to an entryway that has been thoughtfully curated with attention to every detail. The grand two-story foyer welcomes you with abundant natural light, custom millwork, fresh paint, and durable tile flooring that flows seamlessly into the hallway and the reimagined chef's kitchen. A brand-new oak staircase with wrought-iron railing serves as a striking centerpiece, blending beauty with craftsmanship.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room is an entertainer's delight, complete with crown molding, elegant new baseboards, and timeless custom wallpaper designed to accommodate gatherings of up to 12. The family room is an inviting retreat, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, oversized windows that flood the space with natural light, and thoughtful design accents like chair rails. A ceiling fan enhances comfort, making the room perfect for both casual evenings and stylish entertaining. Descend the custom staircase to a fully finished, climate-controlled basement spanning 1,300 square feet-a true retreat within your home. This level features a private guest suite, a separate room that can be used as a home gym or office space, and a spa-inspired bathroom adorned with imported glass tiles. Shiplap accents add charm to the space, which is the perfect area for an in-law suite, recreation room or game central by hanging your flat screen TVs to create the ideal football zone. The oversized two-car garage offers generous storage solutions, while the well-appointed laundry/mudroom keeps your home organized and clutter-free. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms deliver a perfect blend of comfort and functionality. The owner's suite is a sanctuary of luxury, showcasing new flooring, custom trim, designer wallpaper, and dual walk-in closets for optimal storage. The spa-like ensuite bathroom is a masterpiece, featuring a luxurious whirlpool tub, a deluxe shower with rain head, handheld fixtures, and a built-in tile bench, all illuminated by waterproof LED lighting. A 96" double vanity ensures seamless mornings, while every detail of this space has been carefully created to combine sophistication with practicality. The main hallway bathroom was recently upgraded with a new tub, ensuring it complements the home's high-end finishes. Step outside to a custom-built, two-tone Azek deck with a picture frame design centerpiece. From here, descend to two paver patios and a second-tier deck that wraps around a heated, hybrid-style pool-complete with a shallow 3.5-foot end and a deep 8-foot section, perfect for laps or playful cannonballs. The outdoor space is designed for relaxation, entertainment, and making unforgettable memories. If additional space is desired, the walk-up attic offers expansive storage and future potential, thanks to its high ceilings.
