Description

Step into a piece of island history thoughtfully updated for modern coastal living. Originally a Jim Walter home ferried to the island pre-bridge in the 1960s, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence blends timeless character with extensive recent improvements. The top floor, with 1,152 H&C Sq Ft, serves as the heart of the home, featuring three bedrooms, two baths, and an open living area centered around a renovated kitchen. New 288 Sq Ft deck overlooks the fenced backyard shaded by sculpted mature oaks. The ground level, with 720 H&C Sq Ft, offers a private master bedroom, additional living room, laundry area, and generous storage. The downstairs renovation adding 720 H&C Sq Ft for a new house total of 1872 H&C SQ Ft was completed in 2026 so not yet added to the County records. Subtracting the lot value of $245,000, the price per H&C Sq Ft is only $178.41. The circular gravel drive winds through the trees, creating a natural sense of privacy, with the home positioned so there is no view of the road from the living areas. The fenced yard further enhances the peaceful setting, while covered parking and generous storage areas provide convenience for vehicles, beach gear, and outdoor equipment. The home's close proximity to the beach, bay, and bike path makes it easy to enjoy the island lifestyle. Recent infrastructure upgrades provide peace of mind and long-term value, including a NEW Galvalume roof (2026), NEW central HVAC system (2024), additional mini-split systems for enhanced comfort (2021), ground level renovation and mini split (2025), NEW complete interior rewiring (2025), underground electrical service, and a 400-amp meter base. Rich in history yet fully prepared for the future, this distinctive property offers the rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully improved island home in a highly desirable location near the beach access and bayside Regatta Park..
