As lovely as you'll find things indoors, it's the home's outdoor space that charms and dazzles. Off the kitchen through updated Pella wood double doors lies a large, Spanish-cedar-lined screened porch, ideal for evening dinners where you can birdwatch or admire the water view and sunsets--or open the house up for indoor-outdoor entertaining. In addition to the dock and generous backyard space, you'll find a beautiful brick-paver courtyard and patio and a detached garage for plenty of storage.
