The home's garden and grounds offer features that are both delightfully quaint and breathtakingly beautiful.
A lovely veranda surrounds you in the natural beauty of the outdoors through its French doors, which lead to the garden, while the comforts of indoor living, such as a fan-forced air heater, make the room a cozy space during the winter months. Add a chaise lounge and umbrella drink, and the covered lanai becomes a fun getaway spot, even in the coldest of winters.
If a dream is on your mind, you can toss a penny in the adorable white wishing well by the front steps.
On the Fourth of July, enjoy the historic Seaside fireworks in your own front yard with the welcoming kinship of a bonfire in your very own outdoor fireplace.
A traditional white picket fence lines the garden and leads to the home's backyard, mere steps from the ocean's sandy shore. An inviting bench welcomes you to come and sit a spell, perhaps to drink in the unobstructed view of the water, or maybe just to watch as passersby stroll down the paved walkway that curves along the water's edge.
Here's your chance to own a beautiful example of the elegant style and vintage charm of the 1940s, plus a spectacular ocean view! This graceful three bedroom, one and a half bath home features loads of stylish built-ins, majestic fireplace, and sweeping archways, all part of an airy, circular floor plan. With the ocean just out your front door, this Ocean Vista home is a true treasure!
Property Description
First Floor
Sunlight fills the home's airy first floor, which is resplendent with the rich original hardwood floors. The home's strikingly elegant character immediately fills all who pass through its doors with a sense of warmth and welcome. Through the front door is the home's pleasant breakfast nook, which features a built-in china cabinet and ample cabinet storage space.
The nearby formal dining room is chock-a-block with the graceful designs of yesteryear. A lovely glass chandelier hangs overhead, illuminating the walls of whitewashed, original bead-board. Built-in china hutches grace the corners of the room, and their glass French doors beautifully encase your fine porcelain teacups, family heirlooms, and Grandma's silver.
Function is the watchword for the sunny kitchen, which features cabinets of bright, cheerful white and plenty of counter space. A half bath conveniently adjoins the kitchen, and a nearby closet provides storage for kitchen necessities or housekeeping supplies.
Through a stylish archway is the home's ample living room, so rich and inviting with it's vintage appeal and bay window view of the ocean. Built-in bookcases that mimic the lines of the archway grace one wall, and are divided by a majestic wood-burning fireplace, which is trimmed with beautiful curved architectural detail. What a wonderful place to curl up with a good book, or to enjoy the ever-changing seascape that is just out the window! All these beautiful elements conspire to make the living room a fabulous space for entertaining.
Archways throughout and many French doors accent the circular floor plan of the home's main floor.
The home's stately front door leads into a formal foyer, where a wrought-iron banister on the curving stair evokes French Quarter whimsy.
Second Floor
The home's master suite is like a picture out of a gracious living magazine. An appealing fireplace lends a dash of warmth and Victorian romance. The ocean seems close enough to touch through the bedroom's many windows, which literally make one feel as if they are sleeping on the sand. His-and-hers closets provide functional storage space, while the master bath, with its built-in vanity, oversized porcelain sink, and original tile floor are reminiscent of the grand Art Deco estates of days gone by.
The second and third upstairs bedrooms are spacious and accommodating and offer outstanding views of the mountain in the distance and the sleepy neighborhood below.
A luggage room with many built-in cabinets and nooks, ideal for an owner who likes to travel, completes the second floor. The room could also easily become a large closet or storage room. An old-fashioned porthole window offers a peek outside.
Basement
The all-purpose basement is home to the housekeeping center, with a washer, dryer, and oversized utility sink. A mudroom shower with white cabana walls is perfect for cleaning up after a day at the beach or for soaping up pets. A nearby old-fashioned fruit cellar offers extra storage for preserves, a wine collection, or even gardening essentials.
The basement "rumpus room" is a retro-chic treasure with a built in soda-fountain style bar and five parlor stools. This is the place for a neighborhood cocktail party or for firing up your jukebox!
The home also includes a spacious single-car garage with room for storage.
Adjacent vacant lot also available separately. Imagine the possiblities!
