Welcome to waterfront living in The Coves! Set on an excellent lot with approximately 75 feet of waterfrontage, free-flowing water, and a newer vinyl bulkhead, this ranch offers the kind of backyard that makes summers at the Shore hard to beat. The Coves is known for its larger lot sizes, more spacious feel, and modern underground utilities-and this property takes full advantage of it. Inside, an expansive main living area features a cozy sunken living room and vaulted ceiling, creating an open and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. But the real showpiece is out back. Step through the slider onto a huge covered deck designed for long summer days outside-from morning coffee overlooking the lagoon to afternoon swims, dinner with friends and family, and relaxing waterfront evenings as the sun goes down. A semi-inground pool connects directly to the deck, while a 25-foot dock makes it easy to hop on the boat for a lagoon cruise, a day on the bay, or an evening ride on the water. Two oversized storage sheds provide plenty of room for bikes, beach gear, boating supplies, and everything that comes with the waterfront lifestyle. Best of all, the home is being offered completely turn-key with everything included-making it easy to start enjoying the waterfront lifestyle from day one. With easy single-level living, generous outdoor space, and a backyard built around enjoying life on the water, this is the kind of home where summer isn't just a season-it's a way of life.
