Beautiful and filled with light, this desirable updated PLAN 1 townhome features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living spaces, a built in desk area, an oversized outdoor patio, a balcony off the primary suite, and a private (with direct access) 2 car garage. The nicely sized living room, with tall ceilings, features a fireplace with a new custom stone surround and a new slider that offers direct access to the patio. The updated south facing patio flows from the living room and is easily accessible from the sliding door. There is a nice sized area that flows off the kitchen that is ideal for an eating table and a small seating area. The updated kitchen offers newer quartz countertops and appliances. There is good counter space and storage (to include a pantry) and a nice sized breakfast bar area. The kitchen window is placed in an ideal location (over the sink) to allow the beach breeze to flow through the home toward the south facing clearstory windows, as well as the living room window and slider. There is a bedroom and a full bath on this level, offering flexibility to suit anyone's desires. The upstairs primary suite is spacious, offers high ceilings, a private balcony, an updated oversized full bathroom with double sinks, and a nice sized walk in closet. Both bathrooms offer nice lighting with backlit antifog mirrors. All bathrooms have new vanities and plumbing fixtures. Luxury vinyl flooring is installed throughout the home, making it easy to clean and maintain. The garage is ready for cars and storage. Additionally, the home has been newly painted.
