Meander through the side roads of the Harbour Village and eventually you’ll find the most charming cottage tucked behind a picket fence on Windward Court. With gorgeous views of Bald Head Creek and the tidal marsh, ”The Defense Rests” has the rare benefit of being buffered on one side by a Smith Island Land Trust lot which can not be built upon. A gracious front porch welcomes you in to this open floorplan with recently refinished hardwood floors and comfortable coastal decor. With access to the outdoor living spaces from four separate 1st floor doors, the options for relaxing are endless. The second floor offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a sitting room with sweeping views of Bald Head Creek. The owner’s suite is spacious enough for its own sitting area and desk space – perfect for working remotely. Step out to the private balcony and take in the views of the tidal marsh, creek and river. The 3rd floor is home to another large bedroom with water views and a full bathroom. *Standing seam metal roof added in 2016* This home has excellent rental history and is being sold furnished with one golf cart and very few exclusions. Bald Head Island Club and Shoals Club Memberships may be available for separate purchase.
