This enchanting coastal cottage, infused with beachy charm, sprawls over a generous 1,856 sq.ft. and has been masterfully updated to cater to the most discerning of buyers. Entertain in style with the open layout and gourmet kitchen, showcasing stainless appliances, pristine white shaker cabinets, gleaming quartz countertops, and a natural gas range. The centerpiece of the kitchen is the inviting island with a low bar, perfect for hosting gatherings. Luxurious marble floors and refinished original 1952 hardwood floors create a seamless blend of elegance and character throughout. The sumptuous master bathroom features a glass door tub/shower, quartz top sink, and a make-up vanity that will pamper you in style.
