Anchoring the property is a brand-new private in-ground saltwater pool, creating a true resort-caliber oasis that elevates both everyday living and upscale entertaining. Whether envisioned as a refined personal retreat, a multigenerational sanctuary, or a high-performing income-producing investment, this turnkey property delivers an extraordinary combination of luxury, flexibility, and long- term value rarely found in this coveted coastal setting.

A private first-floor primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath, while a convenient laundry room and powder bath complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find a second luxurious primary suite with a breathtaking bathroom featuring a soaking tub and generous tiled shower, along with an additional guest bedroom, full bath, and a custom bunk room with two built-in bunk sets--perfect for maximizing rental potential or hosting guests. Maintenance-free luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the living areas, with tile in all baths for a clean, modern finish. Outdoor living rivals that of a private resort. Enjoy the inground swimming pool, gas firepit with Adirondack seating, expansive back deck, and a fully outfitted entertainment area with large-screen TV. The professionally designed grounds include landscape lighting, hardscaping, charming fencing, a paver driveway, and a pergola-style carport. Adding tremendous flexibility and value, the detached guest cottage features its own private driveway and entrance, allowing it to function as a completely separate rental or private residence. This studio-style retreat includes a stylish kitchen, living/sleeping space, and a beautifully appointed bathroom--ideal for guests or additional income. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental with strong income history despite limited rental time, this turnkey property offers exceptional versatility--live in one residence and rent the other, or maximize returns by renting both.
