Beachside Just Got an Upgrade

Sunset Soirées & Poolside Escapes

Twilight settles differently here. String lights glow against swaying palms, the pool reflects streaks of coastal color, and every corner of the backyard feels designed for lingering longer. A $250K down-to-the-studs transformation turned this into what is essentially a 2021-built retreat, blending elevated design with an atmosphere that leans more boutique vacation hideaway than everyday residence. Set across a rare 0.27-acre beachside canal lot, the outdoor living experience unfolds in layers, beginning with expansive paver patios surrounding the oversized pool and continuing into an enormous screened lanai built for year-round entertaining. The covered lounge space extends the functionality of the home well beyond the interior walls, creating an effortless setting for dinners, game nights, late-night conversations, or quiet mornings overlooking the water and tropical landscaping. A dedicated poolside bath adds convenience while the open yard offers room for firepit gatherings beneath glowing café lights. RV and boat parking with a 30 AMP hookup creates flexibility rarely found beachside, while the 120-square-foot shed provides additional storage for beach gear, hobbies, or weekend toys.

The Deck Everyone Will Talk About

One of the most unforgettable moments of the property waits above it all. A dramatic spiral staircase rises to an expansive Trex deck that stretches wraps around the west side and the rear of the home, creating an entirely different outdoor experience elevated above the pool and backyard. The scale alone makes an impression, but it is the feeling from up here that truly sets it apart. Open skies, glowing sunsets, ocean breezes, and the relaxed rhythm of beachside living come together in a way that feels both energizing and calming at once. The deck functions as an outdoor living room in the sky, offering endless possibilities for entertaining, morning coffee rituals, sunset cocktails, or quiet evenings under the stars. Wide-plank decking, cable railing details, and the seamless indoor-outdoor flow give the space a polished coastal-modern feel while maximizing the openness of the lot. Few homes create this kind of elevated outdoor experience with such scale, privacy, and versatility.

A Full Interior Reinvention

Inside, the renovation reveals itself through thoughtful craftsmanship and layered texture rather than flashy trends. Raised ceilings create an airy openness while the designer-selected finishes bring warmth, personality, and sophistication into every space. Whitewashed oak flooring tones, striking Maple Ribbon tile, handcrafted Zellige details, and custom wooden accents - all cut from one hand-picked spalted maple tree sourced from the NE - work together to create interiors that feel artistic, organic, and highly curated without losing comfort. The living areas are anchored by a custom fireplace wall that instantly gives the space depth and atmosphere, adding a clean architectural focal point to the open-concept layout. Solid wood cabinetry introduces richness and durability throughout, balanced by quartz surfaces and an exquisite mother-of-pearl backsplash that subtly catches light throughout the day. The kitchen was designed for real function as much as visual impact, featuring double ovens, an induction cooktop, a Delta touch faucet, and a layout that easily accommodates both entertaining and everyday life. Every material selection was intentional, contributing to a home that feels refined yet deeply livable.

Flexible Living With Room To Evolve

The floorplan adapts beautifully to changing needs, offering four bedrooms plus a dedicated office created within the enclosed garage bay, while still maintaining the option to easily convert the space back if desired. Dual primary suites create exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or long-term comfort, each offering privacy and a sense of retreat within the overall layout. Three full baths, including the convenient poolside bath, support both daily living and effortless entertaining. A completely redesigned laundry and mudroom introduces another layer of practicality rarely prioritized with this level of style, creating a hardworking space that supports beachside living without sacrificing aesthetics. Every room carries the same cohesive design language introduced throughout the home, giving the entire residence a polished continuity that feels carefully considered from one space to the next.

Built Smarter, Stronger & Ready For Coastal Living

Beyond the visual transformation, nearly every major system was rebuilt with longevity and efficiency in mind. A 2026 roof complements the extensive 2021 upgrades, including a full repipe, complete rewiring, foam insulation, new ductwork, UV air purification system, and tankless water heater. Impact-rated windows and doors installed in 2023 provide both security and energy efficiency while allowing natural light to pour throughout the home. Buried power lines enhance reliability and preserve the clean coastal streetscape, and the property rests outside of a flood zone for additional peace of mind. Every improvement contributes to a residence that lives like new construction while retaining the character and charm of an established beachside setting.

Beachside Energy Without The Compromise

Life here extends far beyond the property lines. Minutes from the beach, local parks, waterfront dining, and everyday conveniences, the location captures the laid-back energy that makes coastal living so addictive. Morning beach walks, afternoons by the pool, evenings on the rooftop-style deck, and weekends filled with boats, bikes, and outdoor gatherings become part of the rhythm of daily life. The combination of massive outdoor entertaining spaces, thoughtful interior design, flexible living arrangements, and fully modernized systems creates a property that stands apart from anything else on the market. It feels intentional, relaxed, and unforgettable all at once.
