Spacious oceanfront living and dining room areas with adjacent enclosed "old school" sun porch opening to sunny seaside front patio with BBQ area. A remodeled kitchen and two guest bedrooms complete the first floor lay out. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a cozy den. The oceanfront master suite has vaulted beamed ceiling and an oceanfront terrace Accented by abundant beadboard detail and crisp white millwork this home is truly reminiscent of a bygone era.
