Blending contemporary coastal style with bright, open spaces, the main floor features an inviting covered entry that leads to a gracious foyer and a spectacular great room crowned by a soaring two-story vaulted ceiling, anchored by a handsome gas fireplace. Refinished and richly stained hardwood floors (2020) extend through the open-concept kitchen and living areas, complemented by fresh interior paint (2021).

A spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, a generous hall bath with walk-in shower, a convenient half bath, laundry area, and interior access to the oversized two-car garage complete the thoughtfully designed main level.
