The Essence of Southern Living. This awe-inspiring home is the crown jewel of the Southern Living Community on Bald Head Island. Designed by Southern Living architect Alison Ramsey and built by the award-winning builder, Whitney Blair. The interior was designed with impeccable attention to detail by Southern Studio and featured on the Spring 2022 cover of Cottages and Bungalows magazine. The double porches on the front of the home accentuate the southern vernacular architecture that makes this home so charming. The upper porch catches the sounds and breezes from the ocean located a short stroll from your island retreat. The luxury kitchen is appointed with a mix of traditional and modern elements to include custom kitchen cabinetry by Ocean Woodworks, LG Quartz Countertops in Viatera Minuet, and GE Cafe Series stainless steel appliances. A discerning chef will enjoy this comfortable kitchen that overlooks a spacious living room bathed in natural light with ship-lap wainscoting. The first floor is also home to the refined primary bedroom with soaring ceilings. An expansive master bath with sophisticated finishes is equipped with a private outdoor shower. The upper floor is home to two spacious bedrooms (one with an en suite bath), bunk room, and full bath with an additional vanity. The attention to detail in this elegant home is evidenced by the many custom upgrades incorporated throughout this upscale residence. The home is tastefully furnished with classic, striking appointments. Upgraded white oak hardwood flooring is found throughout the residence. An expanded landscape plan includes multiple palms and shrubs with drip line irrigation. This coveted location is convenient to East Beach, the BHI Conservancy, Village Commons, and Shoals Club. The expanded two cart garage with finished interior walls and Gladiator shelving houses a 6-seater Club Car and a 4-seater Club Car with upgraded premium seats. A House/Lifestyle membership is available for separate purchase.
