Behind an instantly recognizable facade of magenta, golden yellow, and red, hides an unexpectedly calm, airy retreat filled with natural light. Inside, an all-white color palette contrasts with pale hardwoods, and a double-story living area enhances the interior living space. Featuring two bedrooms and one bath, the home also offers a loft-like office space, as well as a newly remodeled kitchen and outdoor terrace. The rear dock provides room for a motorboat, too. 

Gray subway tiles add a muted color tone in the renovated kitchen, which features all new appliances, as well as ample countertop space and cabinetry.
