Description

Step into a coastal retreat built by Michael Dean where luxury greets you at the front door. From the moment you arrive, you'll see how beauty and comfort have been layered into every detail of this fully furnished home, offered turn-key with timeless pieces from Pottery Barn and Blue Hand Home. Warm red oak hardwood floors sweep across the main level, complemented by 9-foot ceilings that enhance the sense of space. Crown molding runs throughout—even in closets—while bullnose corners and substantial trimwork add refinement. A coffered ceiling in the living room draws the eye upward with architectural drama, plantation shutters frame the windows, and a fireplace provides both warmth and ambiance as the natural gathering point. At the heart of the main level, the chef's kitchen balances style and function with ease. Quartz countertops gleam beneath soft indirect lighting. A unique custom backsplash and solid wood cabinetry with soft-close drawers enhance the space, complemented by a full stainless suite that includes gas range with hood, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Just beyond, the primary suite becomes a serene sanctuary. A double-tray ceiling with crown molding creates height and elegance, while plantation shutters filter natural light. The ensuite bath offers spa-level finishes—quartz counters, dual vanities, a glass-enclosed tiled shower, and framed beveled mirrors—designed for indulgence as much as for function. A second bedroom on the main level with its own full bath extends flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or use as a private office. A powder room and laundry closet tucked off the hallway add convenience. The downstairs level expands the living experience with a stylish second gathering space. Special touches like a built-in café bar make this level as practical as it is inviting. Here, a wet bar with wine storage, refrigerator, under-cabinet lighting, and custom cabinetry sets the stage for entertaining. The fireplace

Supplements: on this level becomes a showpiece of its own, crowned with a mantle crafted from Cape Fear River driftwooda rare, eye-catching detail that ties the home's elegance to its coastal roots. Two additional bedrooms downstairs share a beautifully tiled full bath with glass enclosure and ceramic tile flooring. Outdoor living mirrors the refinement inside and elevates it to resort-level relaxation. Two rear porches with Haint Blue beadboard ceilings, recessed LED lighting, and quiet-operation fans provide breezy retreats in every season. Beyond, the backyard transforms into a true oasisbeautiful landscaping with an irrigation system and mature palms frames a sparkling 10x7 splash pool, set up for year-round operation. Multiple seating and lounging areas invite you to spread out, entertain, or unwind in solitude. An enclosed outdoor shower by the pool adds a thoughtful coastal touch, while outdoor furnishings, as timeless as the interiors, convey with the property, making this sanctuary immediately ready to enjoy. Thoughtful design extends to every corner. A custom welcome center with bench and storage greets you at the garage entry. The garage itself is finished with a workshop, storage for surfboards, bikes, and beach toys, as well as access to an oversized 800-sq-ft lighted attic. Throughout the home, solid-core doors, Baldwin "Prestige" series hardware, wood shelving in every closet, and designer finishes reinforce the commitment to luxury. Behind the beauty, peace of mind comes standard: Nest security, Culligan water softener, osmosis water filtration, Kohler whole home generator, all high-impact windows and doors that eliminate the need for hurricane shutters, upgraded garage doors, and a 50-year metal roof. Even the exterior makes a statement with Hardie plank and shakes siding, while the front entry is defined by a Therma-Tru solid door with five times the insulation of wood, balancing efficiency with style.
