    What's special

    Fenced yard is pet-friendly
    Waterfront without giving up your space. You've got an open layout with LVP flooring, three bedrooms plus an office (not a ''maybe'' office a legit one), and a kitchen setup that actually works. The mudroom/laundry combo is one of those spots you'll use every single day drop zone, cleanup zone, great shelving for storage all of it. Outside is perfect for families that enjoy spending time in the open air. The covered patio is made for hanging out, the fenced yard is pet-friendly, and the yard setup is already done for you with gardens in place and a chicken coop that can convey, chickens included if you want the full package And then we get to the part that matters... Walk out your front door and you're on your own sandy beach (don't forget the tides as they rise and fall so does the sandy you see). Not shared. Not down the street. Yours. There's a pier, a boat lift, and you're tucked into a protected cove with deeded boat ramp access so you're not fighting rough water every time you want to go out. It's easy. It's usable. It's a unicorn. Oh and the covered carport? Tall enough for a camper or RV, which is harder to find than it should be. This is one of those properties that checks boxes you don't usually get in one place or think of including a generac whole house generator.
