Perfectly positioned on a generous .42-acre lot, this well-maintained ranch-style residence blends coastal convenience with extensive modern upgrades, located just 4.9 miles from the beach. The light and airy interior features beautiful hardwood flooring and a versatile 4-season room anchored by a cozy pellet stove, an inviting space to enjoy year-round.
