About this home

Tucked away on a flag lot in the heart of Live Oak, this beautifully updated single-level home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience. Set on an expansive lot with abundant gardening potential, the property provides a peaceful retreat just minutes from 41st Avenue shopping, dining, and world-class surfing at Pleasure Point. Inside, natural light fills the thoughtfully designed floor plan featuring luxury vinyl plank flooring, a cozy gas fireplace, and spacious living areas ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen brings a refreshing coastal personality with custom tile accents and cool ocean tones, creating a stylish focal point. Granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and an easy connection to the dining area make the space as functional as it is inviting. The home offers four generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with coastal-inspired vanities, designer tile work, and beautifully tiled tub/shower enclosures. Outside, the oversized lot offers endless opportunities to create your dream garden, entertain outdoors, or simply enjoy the privacy of the setting. An attached two-car garage completes the package.
