Nestled in the serene Lodge Hill neighborhood, this charming 3 bedroom, 3 bath bungalow offers the perfect blend of character and modern comfort. Originally built in 1962 and thoughtfully remodeled in 2003, this home features a cozy living room that flows seamlessly into a sunroom, currently used as a dining area, off the stunning French country kitchen. The first bedroom is conveniently located near the front entrance, with a full bathroom just down the hall. A second bedroom, set up a half-flight of stairs, offers lovely views of the lush yard. The private primary suite is perched on the top level, complete with an ensuite bathroom and an expansive deck—ideal for enjoying the peaceful surroundings and peek-a-boo ocean views.

A fully permitted studio/workshop below the home was completed with the remodel to provide a separate space to create, use as an office or just storage. Don't miss the opportunity to make this enchanting home yours!
