A 500 sq ft addition fondly known as the ''Tree House'' creates exceptional flexibility with a bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, dining/living studio space, and custom built-ins, plus its own private entrance and a view deck accented with modern steel cable railing.

A desirable split-bedroom floor plan places two additional spacious bedrooms on the opposite side of the home, connected by a shared bath highlighted by a distinctive custom floor finished with reclaimed teak wood. A show-stopping sunroom delivers water views in every direction, complemented by knotty pine paneling and artisan tile flooring, an ideal space for morning coffee, hobbies, or sunset unwind time.
