Rarely does a custom home in this Holly Ridge gated community come with this level of privacy, land, and quality of build. Inside, high ceilings, tall doors, and brushed gold finishes set this home apart from anything else currently available in Summerhouse or the surrounding Holly Ridge waterfront market. The gourmet kitchen features ceiling height cabinetry, an oversized island full of drawers, a gas range with hood vent, and a walk in pantry. A whole home water treatment system and custom finishes throughout add to the everyday livability of this Holly Ridge custom home.

Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer space for family or guests, and the third floor library with lake views works well as a home office, reading room, or creative space. The home also includes an elevator shaft, offering future flexibility to add an elevator. On the ground level, a flex space or home gym with French doors opens to the screened porch and a second fireplace, ideal for year round indoor outdoor living in this Holly Ridge, NC home. A two car garage and generous storage throughout add practical everyday function. Outside, the almost half acre fenced backyard includes a greenhouse, raised garden beds, a firepit, and a playset, a true nature lover's and gardener's retreat rather than a standard flat yard. A custom patio and outdoor living space complete the setting.
