On the Middle Level, you'll be immediately swept away by the gorgeous open floor plan of the Living Area that allows lots of natural light from the many windows that are situated perfectly to allow in plenty of sun. Enjoy family movie night on one of the comfortable couches and whip up some fresh, local seafood in the nearby Kitchen with modern appliances, both a coffee maker and a Keurig, and a cute Breakfast Bar with seating for 7, which is a great place to enjoy a morning cup of orange juice or cool drinks in the evening. The nearby Dining Area has plenty of natural light and seating for 6. Step out onto the Mid-Level Covered Deck through the Main Entry where you can enjoy al fresco dining at the picnic table or relax in the shade while you read a book or simply unwind in the multiple Adirondack chairs or the comfortable Hammock. Down the hall you'll find a Master Bedroom with a Private Bathroom as well as 2 additional Bedrooms that share a Full Hallway Bathroom so there's more than enough space for everyone to get extra cozy while still enjoying their personal space. Follow the nearby stairs up to the Loft where you'll find additional relaxation space and a Flat Screen TV as well as a Sun Deck that offers gorgeous views of the sound and the ocean and is the perfect place to take in those ocean breezes.
