Description

Offered for the first time by its original owner, this classic 1980-built, second-row home has been lovingly maintained as a cherished second residence—never a vacation rental. Located just one lot over from convenient beach access, the property sits high on an elevated lot, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.

This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home features a desirable reverse floor plan, placing the main living areas upstairs to maximize the ocean views from both inside the home and out on the deck. The open layout and high ceilings create a spacious, inviting feel with plenty of room to comfortably host family and friends. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, complete with both hot and cold water. With original features in solid condition, the home carries a warm, nostalgic coastal feel and offers a great opportunity to either update to your own taste or to simply enjoy as-is.

Surrounded by natural vegetation, the high lot offers privacy, dune protection, and a serene coastal setting that's hard to find. Whether you're enjoying sunrise coffee with a view or walking just steps to the sand, this is the ideal beach retreat.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from June 13, 2025
