Nestled beneath a canopy of majestic live oaks, this home is a true sanctuary—where modern design harmonizes with nature to create a serene treehouse retreat.
Boasting five bedrooms (septic permitted for four) and three baths, this thoughtfully designed residence offers an effortless blend of style and comfort. Wide-plank engineered oiled hardwood flooring extends throughout the upper level, infusing warmth and character into every space. Lofted ceilings with striking accent beams enhance the airy, sophisticated ambiance, while rich wood tones amplify the inviting aesthetic. A gas fireplace anchors the great room, casting a cozy glow over the open-concept layout. The chef's kitchen is a culinary experience featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a propane range—perfect for inspired cooking. The dining area flows seamlessly into the screened porch, offering a tranquil retreat to unwind and take in the surroundings. The four upstairs bedrooms are elegantly positioned behind a pocket slider, allowing for separation while maintaining the openness of the design. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with two spacious closets featuring custom shelving and an ensuite bath adorned with marble accents and refined finishes. A skylight bathes the shared bathroom in natural light, accentuating the sleek rain shower wrapped in custom tile, delivering a spa-like experience. Downstairs, a newly added flex space with a private entrance and bath offers endless possibilities—a media room, craft space, or guest suite. Adjacent to the suite, another versatile flex area awaits—ideal for a Pilates studio, art room, or private office, also with its own separate entrance. Outside, the expansive yard invites children, grandchildren, and pets to roam freely, with ample space for a future swimming pool or addition. Just a short walk from the Southern Shores beaches, this home embraces the essence of coastal living while offering unmatched tranquility. Whether you're seeking a vacation rental, second home, or primary residence, this coastal retreat is a rare gem waiting to be discovered. The Southern Shores Civic Association (SSCA) enhances the lifestyle with access to a sound-side beach, boat launch, marina, tennis courts, scenic walking trails, beach access, park, and more—with separate memberships required for marina and tennis courts. **Installed in 2019 LP SmartSide siding with no paint guarantee for 30 years**
