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 less than 500 feet from the beach dune! The two driveways (which provide ample off-street parking) as well as the garden pathway leading 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 built as a triplex and used as an income producing property. It was converted to a duplex for homestead status with no income but could possibly be converted back to a triplex for the additional income flow if so desired. The east side is a larger one-bedroom unit. The west side is a smaller one bedroom with an attached studio. The studio was rented out separately, being the third unit of the triplex for income production. NEW LISTING FOR ADJACENT PROPERTY WOULD ALLOW GRAND HOME OR MULTI-FAMILY BUILD IF PURCHASE ALSO!
