About This Home

As of July 2025

Coastal chic reaches new heights in this impeccable retreat—a masterclass in understated luxury and refined resort style living. Every detail, from the lush garden that frames the welcoming front porch to the sweeping golf course views, signals a home designed to impress. Inside, 2,800 square feet of carefully curated space unfold: wide plank hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with granite countertops, a gas range, and elegant wood cabinetry. The main floor’s open layout is made for effortless entertaining, with the kitchen, dining area, and great room flowing seamlessly together. Gather around the fireplace beneath a vaulted ceiling, sunlight streaming in through walls of windows. This level also features a cozy den, a full hall bath, a versatile bonus room for guests or a home office, a serene main suite with its own spa-like ensuite, and a laundry room tucked away for convenience. Upstairs, a private suite offers a peaceful escape, while two additional bedrooms are connected by a Jack & Jill bath—a perfect setup for family or guests. Thoughtful updates ensure comfort and ease: a new HVAC system and water heater (both 2023), an irrigation system to keep gardens thriving, dimmable lighting for the ideal atmosphere, and a permanent gas hookup for effortless outdoor grilling. The finished garage includes a second refrigerator, and the location provides direct access to the park and the beach shuttle stop. Outdoor living is elevated with composite decking on porches and decks, a rear paver patio and mature gardens—ideal for alfresco gatherings or quiet relaxation. Meticulously maintained by the original owner, this home is nestled in Bear Trap Dunes, an award-winning community brimming with amenities: indoor and outdoor pools, Har-Tru and hard surface tennis courts, a fitness center with whirlpool and saunas, multi-sport courts, basketball and volleyball, beach shuttle, HD cable TV, internet, and a tot-lot playground. The Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club offers public play and on-site dining. Please note, new owners pay an initial contribution of $1,400 at settlement.
