Own a classic. As one of the first dozen or so homes built in Shelter Cove, this home was built to entertain gatherings of neighbors, enjoy the wildlife, and watch the fishermen head out for their daily catch. While the ocean views are now just glimpses, this home is waiting to be brought back to its days of glory. An extra, adjacent lot adds space -- especially since they both back to the old growth greenbelt -- while the massive decking provides options for your outdoor experience. You will enjoy the mid-century modern aspects of the home (the beamed ceilings, the fireplace focal point, the storage), while updating it to make it your own. This home is a diamond in the rough; if you have the time and energy, it will shine for you. Three bedrooms (one used as a sewing room), two baths.
