(Or two or three.) The upper level features a swoon-worthy kitchen, dining for eight, a living room with a large TV and fireplace, a master suite  (with a private bath and walk-in shower), a powder room, laundry, and the piece de resistance: a covered patio with a firepit and a sectional for lounging.  Downstairs, there’s a bedroom/den with a fold-out sofa and a desk, a full bath with a tub/shower, and a guestroom that opens to the backyard (w/dining table, chaises and a barbecue).  From here, you can walk to the local craft brewery or enjoy a slice of pie at Sweet Elena’s bakery—while perusing the fanciful wall murals created by Sand City’s many artists. Ocean lovers will appreciate easy access to the beach via the Tioga Road overpass (approx. seven-minute walk). There’s also a corner playground for the kiddies, and if you don’t feel like cooking, you’ll find scores of delis and diners nearby, along with a gamut of international cuisines (Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, German, Italian and more).   Street and driveway parking only.
