The main floor features a stylish kitchen with a center island, stainless steel appliances, and a formal dining area that opens to a balcony overlooking the landscaped backyard. A bright, oversized living room with custom built-in closets and an updated half bath completes this inviting level. The top floor showcases a sun-filled primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a private ensuite bath, and an expansive balcony with beautiful ocean views and sea breezes. Two additional bedrooms with built-in closets, a full bath, and a linen closet provide comfort and convenience for the entire family. Additional highlights include new Marvin windows, a Navien high-efficiency heating system, a two-car driveway, and a fully gated property for privacy and peace of mind.
