Ahoy, landlubbers.  Looking to put down anchor in Beacon Shores?  Find your safe harbor in this two-story, 2 bed, 2.5 bath Cape Cod charmer.  Wooden accents in the form of plantation shutters, hardwood floors, the wooden staircase with wood handrail and railing and the wooden mantel shelf all evoke a Cape Cod vibe.  The main level of this house is comprised of a formal living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen and half bath.  Sleeping quarters are located upstairs where the two bedrooms and two bathrooms are situated.  Approaching the residence from Commander Lane, follow the pavement on the right side of the house past the front lawn to the covered porch on the right side of the residence.  Upon entering, you will see the living room to the left, facing the front of the house, the staircase straight ahead, and the formal dining room to the right.  The gas log brick fireplace is a focal point of the living room.  The hearth and mantel surround with wood shelf are as decorative as the gas starter is practical.  Opposite the fireplace a swath of windows frames a view of the neighborhood and the well-tended lawn and shrubbery out front.  The vaulted ceiling in the living room adds volume and spaciousness with dramatic effect.   On the opposite side of the entryway from the living room is the dining room.  Its windows face the side yard and sizeable flagstone patio where BBQs and outdoor entertaining will be the order of the day for casual get togethers.  The side yard is enclosed for optimal privacy.  Between the dining room and the garage is the kitchen.  Appliances include a 5-burner gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, bottom-freezer refrigerator and garbage disposal.  Contemporary touches can be seen in the quartz counters, under counter lights and decorative tile back splash.  The dining area in the kitchen is adjacent to the sliding glass doors leading out to the side yard.  The view from the kitchen sink is through the sliding glass doors.  Near the kitchen is the half bath, perfect for guest use when company is afoot.  Also on the main level is a coat closet and under stair storage.  Upstairs a skylight above the staircase adds an extra measure of safety.  Storage below the stairway provides a welcome repository.  Upstairs find the primary suite with vaulted ceiling, a mirrored sliding door closet and ensuite bath.  A door separates the double vanity from the shower stall and toilet.  The frameless stall shower features decorative tilework and overhead windows.  Between the primary suite and the second bedroom is the hall bath with shower over tub, also brightened by overhead windows.  The second bedroom is enlivened by vaulted ceilings, a sliding wooden door closet, and a view overlooking the neighborhood.  The double garage is accessed by way of the alley behind the house.  The garage door has windows along the top for natural light to enter.  Doors on the other three sides access the kitchen and both side yards, respectively.  A full-sized washer and dryer are at the ready to do yeoman’s work in the garage.  Redwood Shores is in the enviable position of being an ideal hub for East Bay, Silicon Valley, or San Francisco commutes.  Changing jobs without moving house works.  Working out without sweating a commute is a breeze too.  Pedestrian pathways abound in Redwood Shores.  Plenty of nearby parks and recreational opportunities are available to let you take full advantage of enjoying the great outdoors in your own backyard.  The nearest park is Shorebird Park which has tennis courts and picnic tables.  Monthly HOA dues are $245, include landscaping of common areas and use of community pool and hot tub.  Once settled into ­­Beacon Shores you will know you’ve arrived; your ship has come in.  Your shore to stay.
