Overview

Experience coastal living at its best on one of the rare oversized lots on the island. Set on an expansive 50x200 lot, this beautifully updated beach home offers a level of privacy, space, and sweeping sound views that are truly hard to find. As you step onto the covered front porch, gentle breezes welcome you in and provide a cool, relaxing escape year-round. Inside, the home opens to a bright, tranquil interior painted in a soft seafoam palette, creating a peaceful atmosphere from the moment you enter. The thoughtful layout frames the home's greatest feature: unobstructed, 180-degree views of the sound stretching across the back of the property. In the evenings, the back patio becomes your front-row seat to breathtaking sunsets in shades of pink, lavender, and gold. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, excellent storage, and stainless-steel appliances--including an oven, refrigerator microwave, and dishwasher.
