A grand screened porch with custom fireplace and adjoining rear deck overlook the water and tidal creek, while a separate covered waterfront pavilion creates an unforgettable setting for entertaining, outdoor dining or simply unwinding beneath the oaks. The garage is remarkable in its own right, with multiple dedicated workshops, extensive storage and a full bath, an exceptional setup for boating gear, hobbies, collections or projects. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and three generous walk-in storage rooms. Just across the street from the community, the Bald Head Island and Fort Fisher ferries open the door to memorable day trips by water, while the beaches of Oak Island are only minutes away for boating, fishing, kayaking, golf, waterfront dining and days spent along the Atlantic.
