Around the corner from the Depot District, Flood zone X, and two blocks to the beach and sea wall. A spacious and charming front porch opens on to a large living room that can also be used as a bedroom. Barge board walls, high bead board ceilings, transoms, and hard wood cypress interior doors add a gracious note to this abode. The natural light is wonderful in the great room consisting of a den and eat in kitchen. The primary bedroom of this house is in the back, with a loft for additional sleeping, or storage.
