Rare One-Level Coastal Living in the Preston Beach Enclave. Single level living like this doesn't come along often, especially not in the exclusive Preston and Phillips Beach area.

The home layout is a masterclass in smart design: 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full and 2 half baths, a light-filled living room, cozy family room with fireplace, formal dining room, and a bright eat-in kitchen with sliders to patio. The oversized primary suite offers a walk-in closet, en-suite bath, & sliders to the backyard. Bonus spaces include a lower-level office/playroom/gym, a front terrace, a laundry room, oversized attached garage, and an unfinished basement with updated systems. Near the beach, top-tier schools, restaurants, & Boston Commuter Rail.
