Just three blocks from Sunny Cove Beach, this Mediterranean-style home offers 2,304 square feet of potential on a peaceful cul-de-sac in a sought-after coastal neighborhood. A true diamond in the rough, the home features timeless Mediterranean details, including wood floors, arched accents, and abundant natural light throughout. The open kitchen offers tile counters, oak cabinets, and a casual flow into the formal dining room with open-beam ceilings and a sliding glass door to the enclosed sunrooman inviting space with Saltillo tile floors ideal for morning coffee or relaxed gatherings. The spacious family room continues the open-beam motif, enhanced by a wood stove insert framed in slate tile and a convenient laundry closet. Up a half flight of stairs, three comfortable bedrooms and two full baths provide ample space for family or guests. The private backyard features a cement patio and Saltillo-tile walkway, perfect for outdoor dining or lounging. With some TLC, this home can shine once again as a coastal retreat near the sand and surf.
