overview

Uniquely designed 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath cottage nestled in the dunes on a quiet cul-de-​sac on South Beach. This traditional floor plan home has a light and airy living area, ​kitchen with barrel roll ceiling and butcher block counters, dining room, and large ​master bedroom with en suite bath and his and her closets on the first floor. A full length ​porch is accessible by French doors from the living area, dining room, and master ​bedroom. Enjoy listening to the sounds of the ocean while dining on your porch. The ​upper floor of the home is designed with two bedrooms with a shared bath and a bunk ​room. Sit on one of the two porches off of the bedrooms and enjoy ocean views and ​breezes. The fifth bedroom is located in the upstairs of the crofter which is accessed by a ​porch from the main house. A private balcony has spectacular ocean views. The crofter ​also has a sitting area on the main floor with a full bath, wet bar, wine cooler, and ​microwave. The home has many upgrades including a new roof (2020), new HVAC, ​remodeled kitchen (2022), interior and exterior paint (2022), hot water tank (2023), and ​more. There are two garages on the property - one free standing and the other under the ​crofter. One of these garages would make a great fishing room or workshop. A ship ​themed playscape in the side yard is ideal for a children's play area or late afternoon ​cocktails. The home comes tastefully furnished with no exclusions. Move right in and ​head to the beach. The two four passenger golf carts are ''like new''. No memberships are ​attached to this property. The square footage includes 675 square feet in the crofter.

Happy Affectionate Family

I have been so pleased with your listing our property, getting it photographed, and on the web site and for advertising it, getting prospective buyers shown the house and getting an offer within a short time, handling the offer and counteroffers, and your help up thru the closing. Your honesty, advice, and help were invaluable. You and Happi made the sale of the house a pleasant experience. Thank you. ~John B
