About the property
RARE HARBOR-FRONT LIVING WITH EXCEPTIONAL BOATING ACCESS! Beautifully appointed and ideally situated just one block from the ocean, this extraordinary single-family home offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle with direct access to the water.

Inside, soft coastal hues, tasteful furnishings and refined finishes create a soothing and sophisticated atmosphere. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, natural wood cabinetry, a gas range, and an island with bar seating that adjoins an informal dining room. The spacious living room showcases vaulted ceilings and walls of windows that fill the home with natural light while framing breathtaking sky and water views, and opening to a 35 foot covered waterfront porch. Four generous-sized bedrooms include two luxurious primary suites. The top-floor suite is a private retreat with a clawfoot soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower, private water closet, and ocean views plus two balconies.

The private pier and floating dock with two slips make boating, fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking effortless, while offering flexibility to customize your waterfront setup to suit your needs. From the dock or deck, enjoy seasonal fireworks and a front-row seat to the September Dragon Boat races and December holiday boat parade.
