Built in 1958 (68 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1958, has undergone significant renovations, making it largely move-in ready. The downstairs living areas and bedrooms feature updated light hardwood flooring and a fresh, modern aesthetic. The exterior and outdoor spaces are well-maintained and inviting. However, the main kitchen, while clean and functional with stainless steel appliances, shows signs of an older renovation with painted cabinets, dated black countertops, and a mix of lighting styles. The upstairs kitchenette is basic but functional. A notable drawback is the absence of central air conditioning, as indicated in the property's weaknesses. While many components appear updated within the last 5-15 years, it has not undergone a full, high-end renovation across all areas, particularly the kitchen and the unknown condition/style of the bathrooms (no images provided). These factors prevent an 'Excellent' rating, but the overall condition is well above 'Fair'.

About this home

Just moments from the shoreline, a home awaits where coastal living unfolds with ease and charm. From the moment you arrive, the front garden sets the tone with a spa and seating area that invite you to pause, unwind, and savor the sun. Inside, the entry opens to the living room, a welcoming gathering space that flows effortlessly into the kitchen. Designed for connection, the kitchen extends directly to the backyard, creating an ideal setting for al fresco dining and easy indoor-outdoor living. Here, an outdoor shower adds a touch of coastal ease, perfect after beach days or afternoons in the garden. Down the hallway, three comfortable bedrooms offer retreat, including one with French doors that open to the backyard, blending comfort with the outdoors. Upstairs, the heart of the home reveals itself. A spacious den with soaring wood planked ceilings and a fireplace creates a warm, inviting hub for gatherings, complemented by an adjoining playroom and a convenient kitchenette. From this central space, a balcony extends the living area outdoors where a fire pit and cozy seating provide the perfect setting for sunsets, laughter, and quiet moments alike. Two additional bedrooms complete the level, one of which serves as a generous primary suite with its own bathroom and private deck. With two primary suites, one conveniently located on the entry level and another upstairs with its own private deck, this residence offers an ideal layout for multi-generational living, extended guests, or the ultimate in personal flexibility. With five bedrooms in all and front and back yards designed for entertaining and relaxation, the home tells the story of a lifestyle shaped by the coast where every day feels like a seamless blend of comfort, connection, and natural beauty, while also offering a coveted rental opportunity with a proven history for either personal enjoyment or vacation use.
