This grand colonial beauty is a landmark here in this coveted beachside neighborhood with its stately columns that stretch high above the long brick porch that welcomes the ocean breezes from the Atlantic just one block to the east. Enter the home to find volume ceilings that hover high rise above the beautiful staircase and handsome wide plank oak flooring. The renovated island kitchen with gas range, double ovens and custom cabinetry with granite tops serves as the centerpiece for the gracious living and dining rooms that subtly open to each other. Just beyond the kitchen, the sprawling family room is centered around a lovely brick fireplace. The oversized dining room with a china closet is situated just adjacent to the chef's kitchen. Upstairs, 4 gracious bedrooms and a bonus room occupy separate corners of the landing including a master suite featuring a renovated bath with jetted tub, double vanities and glass shower. Step out onto the large covered and screened poolside veranda that serves as the owner's outdoor dining, living and entertaining area with a sprawling patio that surrounds the sparkling blue free form pool. A second open air patio is positioned around a fire pit. The large backyard with double gates could easily house a boat or motorhome, however it is currently the home to an irrigated raised garden bed system. Two indoor laundry areas (one up, one down). Side entry 3 car garage. Offered by the original owners who have updated and maintained the home to high standards over the last 45 years. The home shows beautifully and the integrity of the solid brick structure is evident at every turn. Must see to appreciate.
