Description
Birdsong by the Beach! This Garden House is centrally located on a lushly landscaped lot. Green-scape views through windows in all four directions allow for ample enjoyment of the many species of birds and butterflies that revel within the tropical foliage. This stout home was built on an elevated lot in 1970 and has always remained high and dry, though it sits 500 feet from the beach dunes. The two driveways (which provide ample off-street parking) as well as the garden pathway around the entire perimeter of the house consist of multi-colored bricks laid in a herring bone pattern. The smooth terrazzo floors, original to the house and never altered in any way, give easy transition from room to room. Steps from the pristine beach and the azure sea this Xanadu awaits! This property was originally designed and built as a tri-plex! The current configuration is a duplex with one unit having an attached studio. This property could be reconfigured or torn down for new construction. Owned and passed down to family members from the original owners. The owner has the original architectural plans available which could possibly allow the addition of a second story. NEW LISTING FOR ADJACENT PROPERTY WOULD ALLOW A GRAND HOME OR MULTI-FAMILY BUILD IF PURCHASED ALSO. CALL FOR DETAILS!
