About This Home

Enjoy more ocean views from the spacious second floor including a family room with more built-ins and a wet bar and two bedrooms with a full bath. Watch the moon rise though the ''moon window'' during the winter solstice; the moon light will shine through and fill the foyer with light. Enjoy the stars at night through the sky lights and Venus rising in the morning. The sun deck matches the roof line providing full shade during the summer solstice.
