Situated within an exceptionally private cul-de-sac and embraced by views of protected woodland and a tranquil creek, this distinguished Low Country residence masterfully crafted by acclaimed luxury builder Will Thornton Custom Homes, presents a lifestyle defined by elegance, serenity, and effortless coastal sophistication. Here, refined living unfolds across four beautifully appointed bedrooms, three and a half impeccably finished baths, a dedicated office, and an expansive bonus room, each space curated with thoughtful intention and superior craftsmanship, including 8-foot solid doors, 5-inch white oak flooring, spray-foam insulation, and a central vacuum system. The gourmet kitchen acts as the home's culinary showpiece, where an impressive island, integrated lighting, and discreetly concealed outlets blend form and function with remarkable artistry. In the great room, a reclaimed Cape Fear River railroad tie, reimagined as a floating mantel and framed by shiplap, anchors the space with understated elegance. Designed for those who cherish both privacy and connection with nature, the home's expansive screened-in porch, gracious outdoor deck, and fire pit enclave create an atmosphere reminiscent of a luxury retreat where mornings begin with ocean breezes and evenings unfold under a canopy of stars. Additional indulgences include an oversized heated and cooled garage with epoxy flooring, Azek front-porch decking, an outdoor shower, spa-caliber tiled baths, a fenced-in yard, and refined exterior lighting that lends a soft architectural glow after dusk.
