Original owner 2bed/2bath two story custom home at the ocean boasting lovely sunset horizon views! 2 unit configuration! Totally off-grid oasis features a separate living unit on each floor comprised of 1 bed/1 bath, kitchen, and living room.

There are the enduring gorgeous Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring and windows trimmed with mahogany sills to appreciate. The upper floor bath is complemented with an easy access step-in shower stall, porcelain pedestal sink and toilet. The tiled wrap-around lanai with ocean views is accessed by a Trex-style low maintenance staircase.
