First time on the market! Step into this lovingly crafted, single-owner custom-built Craftsman home thoughtfully designed with timeless style and quality craftsmanship. Located less than a block from the beach, this home offers effortless indoor-outdoor living. On the main floor, open two sets of French doors to a sun-drenched, south-facing Ipe hardwood deck—doubling your living space and inviting the ocean breeze in. Inside, cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace with a propane assist. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring soapstone countertops, a farmhouse apron sink, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range—ideal for home chefs and entertainers alike. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each offer ensuite bathrooms and open onto charming balconies. And yes, there's a dreamy clawfoot tub just waiting for a long, relaxing soak. The partially finished basement adds 715 square feet of flexible space—whether you need extra storage or a blank canvas for your vision. Perched on a gentle knoll, the home feels elevated and private, surrounded by lush, mature landscaping and just steps from the ocean—where the sound of waves and power of the ocean become part of daily life. It’s truly a breath of fresh air. A rare opportunity in a cherished coastal neighborhood.
