The expansive screened porch is the true heart of the home and a favorite retreat of the current owners. Designed for year-round enjoyment in the mild coastal climate, it extends the living space outdoors in a comfortable, covered setting that is delighful in every season. Opening to a fenced backyard and protected greenspace beyond, the broad porch embraces the beauty of the Land Trust buffer and creates a serene backdrop for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons, and easy evening gatherings. Upstairs, a central oversized landing adds flexible living space. Two secondary bedrooms share a well-appointed bath, while the primary suite feels like a true retreat with a double vanity, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a spacious custom walk-in closet.
