The main level is made for gathering, with an easy flow between the dining room, kitchen and living room, complemented by a powder bath. French doors open to the side yard veranda, creating a natural extension of the living space and an inviting setting for entertaining indoors and out. Upstairs, an oversized primary suite and two guest bedrooms share the second floor, with a full hall bath and access from all three bedrooms to a covered balcony overlooking the lush greenery of East Coast Drive, a quiet retreat tucked among the palms and mature landscape.
Outside, the home feels every bit as inviting. A jasmine wrapped pergola frames the front porch, while low maintenance landscaping and an outdoor shower make coming home from the beach effortless. A detached two car garage is connected to the house by a covered breezeway, offering both function and the timeless architectural character that feels right at home in Old Atlantic Beach.
With a 2018 roof and two 2018 HVAC systems providing separate comfort for the upstairs and downstairs, the home pairs thoughtful updates with the character that makes Atlantic Beach so special.
Just steps from morning walks along the ocean, afternoons at the beach and evenings in Town Center, this is a home designed around the Atlantic Beach lifestyle: relaxed, refined and right in the middle of it all.
