A nature-lover’s paradise-this four-bedroom, four-bath Bald Head Island retreat is nestled among mature oaks and palms in a forested lot on the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac adjacent to the BHI Club’s golf course. The switchback driveway winds you through the large lot to the house. Across the front porch, you enter the reverse floor plan and be greeted by hardwoods and lots of natural light. The first suite to the right houses a Full as well as two closets and an ensuite with tub/shower. Down the hall, a sunny Queen suite also provides a full bath with tub/shower. The bath can be accessed by both the bedroom and hall. Nearby, a bright corner Queen suite offers a walk-in closet as well as its own full bath with a tub/shower. Upstairs, the open floor plan is flooded with light from glass on all sides and grants treetop views of the Island’s Maritime Forest. You’ll appreciate the high tray ceiling and spacious airiness of this level. The comfortable living area is furnished with leather seating and is anchored by a gas fireplace that is flanked by built-ins. Beyond the generous dining space, sided by windows, is set for eight with more chairs available and harbors a charming corner cabinet. The adjacent kitchen’s design facilitates interaction with the floor’s other areas so chefs can enjoy being with family while preparing meals. It also tenders a breakfast bar, lots of counter space, glass-fronted cabinets and an ice maker. Through glass doors is a large screened porch. This is perfect for alfresco dining, wildlife viewing, a quiet read or an afternoon nap. Tucked behind the fireplace wall is the oversize King Master suite. It is bathed in sunshine, proffers private access to the screened porch and indulges with a California walk-in closet and a Master Bath with two vanities and separate bath/water closet. Conveniently located close to the marina, shops and restaurants, this home conveys with a four-passenger cart. An equity BHI Club Full membership is available.
