About This Home

Where luxury meets effortless coastal living, this 4,394-square-foot custom residence unfolds with a quiet confidence, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered and every space invites you to slow down and stay awhile. From the moment you arrive, the wraparound porch sets the tone, offering a warm, welcoming introduction that feels both refined and relaxed.
Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows, illuminating soaring ceilings and a seamless, open-concept design. The kitchen anchors the home as both a gathering place and a showpiece, outfitted with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, and a generously sized butler's pantry that keeps everything effortlessly within reach while maintaining a clean, elevated aesthetic. The main level offers a well-appointed guest suite, creating a private and comfortable space for visitors, while the rest of the home unfolds with an easy, intuitive flow designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
Just beyond the doors, the backyard transforms into a private retreat. Fully fenced and backing to a serene wooded setting, the outdoor space feels tucked away and protected. A saltwater pool becomes the centerpiece, complemented by a summer kitchen and a covered lounge with a fireplace, where evenings linger a little longer and gatherings come together with ease.
Upstairs, the primary suite is designed as a true escape, where mornings begin softly and evenings wind down in a spa-inspired bath and expansive custom closet. Additional guest rooms, a charming balcony, and a detached carriage house offer flexibility for hosting, working, or simply creating space to spread out.
Set within Watersound Origins, the home is part of a community that balances natural beauty with thoughtful design, offering access to golf, dining, and the nearby beaches of 30A. It's a place where the pace feels just right, and where everyday living carries a sense of ease, intention, and understated luxury.
