Live the beach life in this beautiful coastal cottage! Located just 1 mile from the Atlantic Ocean, this home is nestled in a small community and has been meticulously maintained. *NO flood insurance required!* Hear the waves crashing on the shore as you enjoy sunrise on the front porch, or relax in tranquility watching herons fishing in the pond behind the home from the screened rear porch. This home is perfect for both entertaining and everyday living, with a bright, open floorplan and plenty of outdoor living space. Vaulted ceilings in the main living area add to the airy feeling of the home while working dormers flood the home with natural light. Gorgeous laminate flooring in high-traffic areas makes cleanup a breeze, and a gas fireplace will keep you cozy on those chilly nights. The spacious kitchen boasts granite countertops, soft close drawers, and an abundance of cabinets. Tray ceilings in the owners suite add a touch of luxury, while the ensuite bathroom features a vanity with dual sinks and a large walk-in shower.Impact windows and doors make this home energy efficient, while concrete block construction with Hardie siding and a metal roof make it virtually maintenance free. A mature lawn and landscaping make upkeep simple, and the native plants attract butterflies and hummingbirds year after year! After a long day at the beach, rinse off in the hot/cold outdoor shower. The oversized garage has a side-mounted garage door opener, and can accommodate a full-sized truck with topper- and still leaves room for your beach toys and bikes! LG washing machine and dryer are included. Located just minutes from the heart of Flagler Beach and the Flagler Pier, enjoy a variety of restaurants and shops, and live like you're on vacation!
