A family retreat on a one-acre outdoor paradise with more cool places to enjoy than a private club. From the screen porch, multiple decks, firepit area and nightly ''docktails'' to the private beach to the open-air bottom level of the home, one can be entertained all day and night without ever going into the home. But, of course, you will and continue to be inspired by the panoramic easterly views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the majestic marsh grass looking north and the breaking waves near the inlet from the Atlantic Ocean. Your guests will be impressed when entering up the grand front steps into the foyer with the elegant spiral staircase. The main level master bedroom catches the early morning sunrises as do many other rooms in the home. The home and property have been extensively improved and cared for with many recent upgrades including landscaping, irrigation, fencing and lighting. Inside the home additions include filter systems, audio and visual enhancements and replacements of many mechanicals units and dumbwaiter. A short walk to your 30 foot protected boat slip and neighborhood pool and tennis court completes the resort activities of this tranquil coastal North Carolina setting.
