The kitchen features a gas range, upgraded refrigerator, new dishwasher, under-cabinet lighting, and pantry for the home chef.

Additional highlights include a 500-gallon buried propane tank that fuels the gas stove, tankless water heater, whole-house emergency generator, & fireplace. Enjoy the 20' x 8' screened porch, perfectly positioned to take in the water views and surrounding wildlife. A detached 24' x 32' 2-story garage offers even more space, complete with a heated & cooled recreation room upstairs and generous storage below. For those needing workspace or creative space, an attached studio & workshop—both climate-controlled—provide flexible options. Also a 12' x 31' covered parking area, ideal for your RV or boat. With the rare combination of acreage, water views, functional space, and peaceful surroundings, this property offers the best of coastal living.
