Inside, hardwood floors and an abundance of windows fill the home with natural light, highlighting its historic character and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The residence offers three bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths, with comfortable living spaces designed for both everyday living and weekend escapes. Outside, the wraparound garden with a brick walkway from the front gate that leads to the patio that offers a picturesque setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the coastal breeze.
