The generous primary ensuite is also located on the top level and features an updated bathroom, providing a private retreat after a day at the beach. Additional features include a convenient dumbwaiter for transporting groceries and luggage, storm shutters for added peace of mind, and the rare advantage of a home that has never been rented.
