Where forest and sea converge. Designed to capture abundant natural light and a sense of coastal calm, this stately Ocean Cove home offers a rare balance of privacy and proximity: tucked against evergreens, yet just moments from the beach. The welcoming front gathering space feels like part of the neighborhood itself, where fawns are known to wander and the porch invites the implementation of all your favorite Pinterest looks. Out back, a whimsical fort overlooks a natural creek along the eastern edge of the property, creating a peaceful, storybook setting. Inside, the main-level primary suite anchors the home with quiet luxury: a spa-inspired walk-in shower, cozy fireplace, and direct deck access for soft coastal evenings. The open living spaces flow effortlessly- ideal for entertaining on the forest-view deck, cooking in the open kitchen, or savoring a quiet morning in the sunlit library nook. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms and a full bath are supported by an oversized walk-in linen closet, offering thoughtful storage and an easy layout for guests or family. Significant 2025 updates include a professionally installed, full waterproofing system in the crawlspace and a complete renovation of the separate studio apartment above the oversized garage, featuring a refreshed kitchenette, new finishes, and its own full bathroom. Perfect for a private office, guest retreat, or creative studio, this space adds exceptional flexibility. Set in the sought-after Ocean Cove neighborhood, close to surf breaks, trails, and local dining, yet comfortably removed from downtown activity. This home offers a refined coastal lifestyle with serenity and room to breathe. Sold fully furnished, allowing you to settle in and enjoy from day one.
