Cocktails at 430!! That's the slogan on this street. What an amazing, cozy, exciting, original, creative, charming bungalo on the bay. Seldom will you ever see a home that so clearly says FUN! Walk in the picket gate, through a garden path with towering trellis's full of pink roses, and ivy, and flowers of every kind to step into your own little waterfront wonderland. Every room in this home is an adventure of creativity and style full of hide-away cabinets and cool little nooks and crannies. If you like towering ceilings, and fireplaces, and claw-foot bathtubs, and wrap around portches, and hot-tubs, and french-doors, and sunrises, and sittin' on the dock of the bay, then this is the place! It's absolutely magical, and it won't last long. This little retreat is built for someone who loves life and it's ready for yours. Push it. Pull it. Drag it in. But get your life here before someone else starts living it!
