Welcome to Puffin Place! This is 1/2 of a large duplex home with stunning ocean and marsh views. 2016-2017 updates: fully repainted interior (walls, ceilings, trim), new hardwood flooring upstairs, new kitchen and foyer tile, updated bathrooms, new living area and master flooring, new king bed in master! Puffin Place pampers you with panoramic ocean and marsh views, an exceptional kitchen, WiFi, cable TV in every bedroom plus sitting area and living room, puzzle and board game libraries, propane gas and grill and more! Puffin Place has plenty of room to spread out with 3 bedrooms, 3 updated baths, den, an open living dining area, screened porch, 2 open decks, and a top notch kitchen.
You’ll enter Puffin Place through a covered front porch, with plenty of seating where you can enjoy ever changing views of the tidal marsh. You will love the open floor plan with great flow through the kitchen, dining and living areas that lead into the inviting screened porch through sliding glass doors. The living area offers ample seating with a large sofa, a loveseat, and two occasional chairs. The gas fireplace makes this an ideal spot to cocoon in winter. A generously sized dining table comfortably seats six to eight, with six dining chairs, and two lightweight side chairs stored in the adjacent den. When you have had enough sun, you can settle into the living area and enjoy some relaxing time in front of the flat screen television. The living area opens onto the screened porch which invites you to relax and enjoy the stunning view. The screened porch then opens onto a small open deck with a mesmerizing 180 degree view across gently waving sea oats on grass covered dunes to the sparkling ocean beyond. Stairs off of the deck take you down to the grassy common area.
A propane and grill is available for your use (propane is provided) and a large picnic table is tucked into the shade of the carport.
The den on the main floor boasts a 50 inch flat screen cable television. This room has great views of the marsh, and comfy chairs perfect for settling in with a good book. And Puffin Place provides dozens of books for your reading pleasure…both fiction and non fiction including numerous books devoted to the surrounding area, history, and nature.
If you like to cook, you will flip for the well equipped kitchen with granite counter tops offering plenty of workspace, an undermount double bowl stainless steel sink. Maple French provincial cabinets, stainless steel range, and a top of the line stainless steel Samsung French door refrigerator with a wine cooler drawer and bottom drawer freezer compartment. Oh, and did we mention the view? You can stand at the kitchen sink and look straight through the living/dining area and screened porch to the dunes and ocean beyond! Two bar stools on the dining table side of the kitchen pass-through make that a great spot for a casual meal or sipping a glass of your favorite beverage while chatting with the cook. There also is a laundry room with a full sized washing machine and dryer on this floor.
Conveniently located on this main level is the master bedroom suite. With a king bed and a 32' flat screen television, the master is on the ocean side of the home with beautiful ocean views, and opens directly to the screened porch. What a great way to wake up in the morning! Upstairs are two large bedrooms each with a reading nook, and a third full bath that is ideally located off of the landing that separates the two bedrooms. This bath has been updated with river rock flooring, new lighting, vanity and counter top, and a subway tile tub surround. Spacious guest bedroom 1 boasts a beautiful king sized sleigh bed, 32' television, and in the dormer alcove a comfy arm chair and ottoman provide a nice private spot for reading or relaxing. There is a lovely marsh view from the alcove window, and a wide blade ceiling fan keeps the breeze circulating for restful sleep. Guest bedroom 2 is a perfect children’s room with a 32' cable television and two twin beds. A dormer sitting area with a stunning ocean view offers a snugly overstuffed chair with ottoman, and shelves of books at arm’s length. This bedroom also offers a wide blade ceiling fan for sleeping comfort. On the landing between the bedrooms is a bookcase filled with games and books.
