Welcome to Ocean Heart, a modern home with eight bedrooms and three levels of living space! This comfortable beach house has interior specialty lighting in the bedrooms and main third-level living area, giving the house a beautiful ambiance in the evening accented by the natural sunset vistas over beautiful Back Bay. Once you step inside, you will notice that this home away from home has been recently updated with revarnished steps, fresh paint in sections of the home, a new display case, new railings inside, beautiful new outdoor furniture, new granite countertops in the outside bar area, and incredible landscaping with rows and rows of rosemary bushes and plants everywhere with fresh mulch.
