About this home

Breathtaking, single-story living with deeded private beach access and boat launch. Practically brand-new, inside and out! Set in a desirable location - Ocean Ridge, a quiet neighborhood, end of a cul-de-sac, with stone wall creating a nice border to the lush, private backyard and large wooded lot. As soon as you enter the front door of this Ranch home, your eyes will dart around to all the finishes and touches throughout the light and airy, open floorplan. Many improvements were completed within the last year: exterior siding, gutters, windows, landscaping, exterior and interior doors, bathroom, full kitchen with appliances, countertops and backsplash, flooring, recessed lighting, outside shower, and more. You will not want to miss this opportunity - style and convenience. Within walking to the beach, close to restaurants, shopping, recreation, and easy commuting north or south on Route 1.
