Welcome to this charming coastal cottage situated on almost a half-acre lot just across the street from the ICW. As you enter the foyer, you will immediately notice gorgeous engineered wooden floors installed throughout the entire main living area and rich trim work that will follow you on each step.

A large and bright living room welcomes you and feels as though it was made for cozy evenings with a nice glass of wine around the fireplace, reading your favorite author, playing family games, conducting deep conversations or just watching movies.
