Indoor spaces extend outdoors to an expansive Trex deck spanning nearly the full width of the home, with stairs down to a lower patio and additional deck—easy, graceful flow for entertaining against a backdrop of bridge-and-water vistas. Upstairs, the primary bedroom captures those same iconic views alongside two additional bedrooms (one currently used as a home office) and a full bathroom. A lower level adds a large recreation room, a flexible bonus room, plus laundry, workshop, utility room, and generous storage beneath the oversized two-car garage.

The existing 1,682-square-foot home is peacefully scaled, with a woodburning fireplace and a sun room that invites long, quiet mornings. A custom two-story barn/garage adds flexibility, with garage doors at both the front and rear and an expansive upper level ready for your vision. Deeded private beach access is just down the street, offering a simple rhythm of shoreline days and secluded evenings.
