The first floor welcomes you with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area where soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams create an inviting sense of space. A lovely open kitchen and dining with island seating flows seamlessly into the living area, while a beautiful stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove serves as the heart of the home, creating the perfect place to gather after a day by the ocean. Upstairs, the primary suite continues the home's architectural character with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility with a private third and fourth bedroom, a full bathroom, and a laundry room with generous storage—ideal for hosting overnight guests.
