Double-pane, sound-reducing windows with custom adjustable shades add privacy and comfort throughout.Designed for the coastal lifestyle, the private patio offers a separate rear entrance and convenient storage for bikes, surfboards and other outdoor equipment. Come home after a day at the beach, store your gear and rinse off in the outdoor shower, thoughtfully constructed with a French-drain system. Enjoy morning coffee or dine alfresco beneath the shaded pergola, surrounded by trellised greenery, steel planters and lush foliage that create a peaceful garden retreat.The home includes one carport parking space with an EV charger, plus a separate storage unit.
