And take the virtual tour now for a wonderful walk-through at your leisure. Amenity-rich Tidewater is a 24-hour, manned gated community on a tree-lined road to oceanfront Anne Tilghman Boyce Coastal Reserve, a nature conservancey, including Waities Island, with access for managed recreational use. Tidewater itself is on an elevated peninsula of live oaks and southern pines between the Intracoatal Waterway and the Cherry Grove Inlet to the Atlantic Ocean. The plantation also preserves the singular look of its own historic origins. It is minutes from the beach, shopping, medical services, entertainment and access to major highways. The development boasts a private owners' beach cabana on the wide, white sands of the Cherry Grove Beach. This home, therefore, enjoys that natural environment in an extended front set-back from the road and features a stunning rear view from many angles of the 11th hole of world-class Tidewater Golf Course. Walk in from a lovely front porch to the entire great room and the open panorama provided by high ceilings and lots of large, interesting windows. Natural light abounds, and windows are high-impact glass. The lovely formal dining room with arched detailing is to the right, convenient to the expansive kitchen and the first-floor guest bath. And what a kitchen: breakfast nook looking out on the golf course, breakfast bar, patio access for grilling, work island with sink, tall cherry wood custom cabinets, 2 pantries/one a walk-in, great granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, soft-close kitchen drawers, tumbled-marble back splash and memorable tile flooring. The living area likewise has custom touches in beautiful bookcases, hard-wood floors, homey fireplace and unique ceiling treatments, which continue around the home. The roomy screened-in porch is off the great room and provides the best in seasonal relaxation, dining, entertainment and always the view -- from many rooms, including the master bedroom which opens on the great room too, with stylish French doors. The master has size, comfort, two walk-in closets, en suite with double-sink vanity and seating area, separate water closet and linen storage and large walk-in shower. Two other big bedrooms and a full bath in a popular, split-bedroom floor plan are on the main floor to the left of the great room. One is being used as an office. The 4th bedroom with en suite is an upstairs bonus room, perfect for guests, grand kids, game room or private retreat. It is separately climate-controlled for energy efficiency. Full surround-sound encompasses the home, screened porch and 4th bedroom. Storage is plentiful. The over-sized 2-car garage and walk-in attic from the 4th bedroom provide even more storage. Entry from the garage leads to the laundry room with sink, half bath, closets, 4th bedroom/full bath and kitchen.
