The home
About 496 Pearl Street
Lovely 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath completely remodeled home in the heart of Woods Cove. All that was saved from the original cottage in 2012 was the garage framing in this updated version of the original. The lower floor entry leads to an open floor plan and great room with kitchen, dining room and living room. Three sets of French doors open to the outside and its wrap around patio. Established planting and mature trees accent professionally done hardscape. The home is perfect for today's lifestyle and for entertaining. The upstairs has a master suite with an ocean view, two additional bedrooms and two full baths. The upstairs laundry built ins and pull down stairs to the attic provide additional storage. Fireplaces are in the master bedroom and living room. An abundance of windows and the home's vaulted ceilings make for a light and open feel. There is recessed lighting throughout. Upgraded stainless appliances in the designer chef's kitchen include a 6 burner Wolfe range. A half bath is conveniently located off the kitchen. Central heating and air conditioning. Walk to the ocean, shopping, restaurants and galleries. Just blocks from gorgeous Woods Cove Beach. Great primary residence or turnkey second home.
