A hand-carved Dutch door is bejeweled by a yin yang stained-glass window that casts colorful streams of light across the interior. Warm knotty pine walls, seasoned fir floors, wood ceilings, and selected vintage stained glass frame a feeling, not just a house. A second set of exterior steps leads to a secluded hot tub overlooking the coastline, offering an unforgettable vantage point to soak under star-filled skies. At dawn, it's the spot to check the surf before paddling out, watch the fog roll across the headlands, or simply settle in while listening to the waves breaking below.

Garden views extend from nearly every room, reinforcing a seamless connection between indoors and out. The kitchen carries a cheerful, old-school spirit, with classic Heath tile, colorful counters, casement windows, and updated appliances blending function with a sense of nostalgia.
