With FOUR levels of living space, brand new ocean-facing decks, ocean views, and fantastic rental income history, this home is unique in every way. And let's not overlook the wide, uncrowded beach out front that makes Corolla so special, and the established dune protecting the home and the coastline.

The next level includes the main entryway, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms has an attached bath, with sliders that open to the ocean-facing deck. The other two bedrooms share a hall bathroom with large tile shower and double sinks. On the third level, you'll find the main living space that opens to the dining and kitchen. There's a large screened porch off the kitchen, ideal for outside dining, that also opens onto the uncovered deck.

But since she's located on prime oceanfront real estate, a new owner could maximize the financial investment even further by putting a larger structure in its place, as the neighbors did. If that is the goal of a new owner, this is a great option b/c you can get great rental income for months or years while you spend time designing your dream investment home.

This type of community planning allows the homes to be close together of small lots and still satisfy the lot coverage regulations by incorporating large open areas throughout the subdivision. SOme of these open areas are along the oceanfront which allows more homes to have ocean views. There is an active home owners association which takes care of the private roads and the community tennis courts and the numerous beach accesses through out the community. You can find Ocean Sands just past the subdivision of Spindrift and before you get to the community of Crown Point.
