Tucked down a long drive, amid ancient oaks and sabal palms, this three-bedroom, two-bath Island sanctuary, canopied by Bald Head's subtropical Maritime Forest, features multiple outdoor living spaces-perfect for savoring naturescapes, briny breezes, and birdsong. The first thing you'll see is its oversized octagonal screened gazebo. This roomy, secluded treetop getaway is where you'll relish morning coffee, afternoon happy hour, quiet reads, peaceful naps, and an occasional deer sighting. Just down from there is a large sun/yoga deck with the grill patio below that and, beyond, a very private fenced backyard. Inside this well-built, meticulously maintained semi-open floorplan, the foyer's gleaming hardwoods lead to a comfortable living area cornered by light-sharing windows, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, and offering cozy seating as well as several built-ins. Across, the charming dining space tenders a wraparound banquette topped by sunlit windows that bring the outdoors inside. Enjoy bites here or step through the adjacent door and nibble alfresco on a side porch. The updated kitchen provides stainless appliances, granite counters, plenty of storage, and more outdoor views. Down the hall, the Primary Suite boasts three closets, an office, egress to another side porch, laundry access, and a large pampering bath with a dual vanity. Up the vaulted stairs are two bright, sloped-ceiling bedrooms, each well-appointed and highlighted by a wall of Palladian windows. The serene Queen and cheery Twin, sleeping two, share a convenient, remodeled hall bath. Don't miss the pristine garage workshop, with lots of tools. Conveying fully furnished with two four-passenger carts-one enclosed, two kayaks, and four bikes and centrally located just minutes to the beach, shops, and restaurants, this could be the family beach house of your dreams or profit you with its great rental history. An Equity Full BHI Club membership is available for separate purchase.
