About This Home

As of May 2024

Live in affordable coastal elegance in this incredibly spacious custom-crafted 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath beauty that offers endless possibilities to tailor the space to suit your lifestyle, whether you seek relaxation, entertainment, or coastal adventure. As you arrive on the circular hard-scaped drive, covered with a beautiful Portico offering shelter below and a large outdoor living space above, you’re greeted by an atmosphere of warmth that makes you feel right at home. Stone steps lead into the bright foyer, off-centered with a curved cherry staircase sitting on a sea of beautiful Brazilian cherry hardwoods, with a lift-enabled chandelier perched high above. The well-appointed gourmet kitchen with Jenn Air appliances, two dishwashers, and a large spacious island inspires gatherings that flow seamlessly into the large bright dining room. In the sunlit living area, french doors bookend the gas fireplace providing dual access to the outdoors. Off of the main living area, the primary bedroom suite, with a beautiful custom closet, boasts a double-sided stone fireplace to add luxury while relaxing in your jacuzzi bath or enjoying a rejuvenating multi-head rain shower. If you are looking for spacious rooms, upstairs find three ensuite bedrooms that offer privacy and comfort, one with a Rapunzel Balcony adding charm and character. And, a versatile bonus room offers flexibility whether you crave a home office, a fitness studio, or a cozy media room. Adjacent, an open loft effortlessly transforms into a game room or entertainment area with access to that large outdoor balcony overlooking the pond-enhanced landscape setting the stage for memories that will last a lifetime. Call to request the endless list of features, including geothermal heat, central vac, surround sound, and more. HOA is optional! Situated just behind Bear Trap Dunes, investors can only imagine the potential of a high-end luxurious golf/beach rental. Overall, this property offers a combination of luxury, comfort, and convenience in a prime location just 2- miles from the beach.
