Set inside a gated waterfront community with a private beach venue just outside the gates, this residence blends relaxed luxury with the warmth of a place meant to be shared. Rich hardwood flooring with custom inlay sets an immediate tone of sophistication the moment you step inside.

Another bedroom, full bath, and an office that can easily serve as a third bedroom round out the main level, giving everyone room to settle in comfortably. The gourmet kitchen with double ovens, gas range, and granite countertops was made for the discerning cook where you can enjoy busy cooking frenzies or slow intimate dinners. A glassed in Carolina Room overlooks the very private, expansive backyard, perfect for quiet mornings or coastal fun evenings with family and friends. The garage offers extra storage, and upstairs you'll find a spacious bonus room that works beautifully as an additional bedroom, game room, or hangout space. A full bath, abundant walk in storage, and approximately 400 sq. ft. of additional space make the upstairs feel like its own private getaway--ideal for guests, hobbies, or a tucked away retreat. This home captures the spirit of casual yet refined coastal living in one of the area's most desirable communities.
