You will find this unique 2 bedroom/2 bathroom home exudes charm and character.

You will also notice the light and bright great room combining the living and dining areas. There is also a den off the kitchen currently being used as a TV room. The open kitchen overlooks the great room. The kitchen reflects the owners passion for cooking as a former local chef and restauratuer himself!

Stainless steel appliances, a large farmers sink and butcher block counters as well as an island are a few of the fine features of this kitchen.

Both bathrooms have been updated with vanities with granite counters, bowl sinks and marble tiled shower enclosures. Inside laundry room is a plus. Windows were replaced with hurricane rated impact windows. Electrical panel was upgraded in 2008. A practical utility building was built in 2009 which could serve many purposes.
