Thoughtfully renovated with a fresh coastal aesthetic, this light-filled home beautifully blends timeless architectural detail and old-world craftsmanship with today's airy, modern style. A welcoming foyer opens to a gracious living room with hardwood floors, gas fireplace, and a charming covered porch-perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The elegant dining room features recessed lighting, refined millwork, sweeping views of the professionally landscaped grounds and tiered brick terrace, and a built-in bar designed for seamless entertaining.
