This townhome offers an incredible opportunity to enjoy beach living at a great value. With three bedrooms and three full baths, it provides a flexible layout that works well for full-time living, a vacation getaway, or an investment property. A major plus is the number of updates already completed for you - appliances, quartz countertops, several light fixtures, the HVAC system, water heater, and water softener were all replaced in 2017, giving the home a more refreshed and modern feel. The roof was replaced in 2019, so the next owner can move in knowing the big-ticket items have already been taken care of. The floor plan includes a spacious first-floor bedroom with its own full bath, offering convenience for guests or anyone looking for easy main-level living. The living room features a cozy fireplace, sliding doors that lead outside, and space for a formal dining setup, making it a comfortable and functional main gathering area. Another major advantage is that this property is not located in a flood zone, adding an extra layer of peace of mind. The HOA covers yard maintenance, so outdoor upkeep is simple and stress-free. Residents also enjoy access to community amenities, including a pool and tennis courts. With its solid updates, ideal layout, and unbeatable location, this townhome is a must-see for anyone searching for value and convenience at the beach!
