Reimagined from the walls in between 2018-2021 with all permits finalized, this single-level residence was crafted with intention, quality, and flow in mind.

At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen anchors everyday living and entertaining alike. Custom cabinetry, white quartz countertops, a waterfall-edge island, and classic subway tile set a timeless backdrop, while the professional Thermador stainless steel gas range and hood elevate the space. A custom sea-inspired tile backsplash adds a subtle pop of iridescent color--an understated nod to the home's coastal setting. Beamed ceilings in the living room and primary suite add warmth and architectural character, enhancing the home's relaxed surf-town aesthetic. Dual-pane windows throughout, including select jalousie-style windows, invite fresh air and frame peaceful backyard views.The primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a spa-inspired bathroom with heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower with frameless glass, and dual-sink vanity. High clerestory windows above the vanity flood the space with natural light while maintaining privacy.
