This raised, coastal-style home sits up on sturdy supports, leaving covered parking and storage under the main level -- great for flood-prone areas and handy for boats, trailers, or weekend gear. The wide covered front porch with ceiling fans and white railings is a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening chats. A detached outbuilding with dual carport bays and a full garage adds secure storage and workspace for hobbies or extra vehicles. Inside, the rooms are bright and comfortable, mixing modern updates with warm, rustic touches. Photos show two living areas -- one with a large sectional and electric fireplace, the other with a wall-mounted TV and sleek mantel -- both flexible for family time or entertaining. Neutral paint, wood-look floors, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans keep the spaces low-maintenance and photo-ready. The kitchen feels cozy and practical: rich wood cabinets and ceiling details give it cabin charm while stainless fixtures and a smooth-top range add modern convenience. Thoughtful touches like a hanging utensil rack and organized spice storage make cooking easy. The dining area, with big windows, flows right from the kitchen into the living spaces -- ideal for everyday meals and gatherings. Bedrooms are well sized with good light and ceiling fans. The primary bath is updated and bright, with a wide double vanity, marble-style tile, and plenty of storage -- move-in ready. This property is ideal for buyers who need lots of storage and vehicle space, with multiple storage rooms, several carports, and a 2-car garage plus the detached outbuilding for extra parking or a workshop.
