Inside, the home offers a flexible layout with generous living spaces and a walkout lower level featuring two additional rooms that could easily serve as bedrooms, guest accommodations, office space, or recreation areas. Outside, you'll find two oversized decks, a fully fenced yard, side driveway, storage shed, and plenty of room to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the beach-town lifestyle. This home has a huge grass area for the kids or adults to hand out, located next to the home. Sit on the deck to relax, shoot some hoops or play in the sandbox. Major improvements including roofing, electrical, plumbing, gutters, and basement updates add peace of mind while preserving the character that makes Miller Beach so special.
