Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, hardwood flooring, and abundant natural light lend an airy ambiance to the living spaces. A spectacular chef's kitchen features leathered quartzite countertops, premium Wolf and Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, and a generous walk-in pantry, opening to the adjoining family and dining areas. Custom built-ins and closets throughout maximize storage and functionality. All 3 bedrooms are situated upstairs, including a luxurious primary retreat with ocean and sunset views, a covered deck, elegant bath, and spacious walk-in closet. A converted garage offers an optional main-level bedroom or office with closets, while solar power, EV charging, designer fixtures, and tailored window coverings add to the home's appeal.
