This custom-built home rests on a hill overlooking salt marsh & the Shallotte River. From a covered porch or an expansive lower deck, enjoy a stunning view clean around to where the river meets the ICW. Its 2.5-story living room is supported by large corner Juniper beams cut & delivered from a Vermont sawmill. Watch the flames flicker in an olden day's gas log stove as it ushers out the morning chill. Everything - from a massive Wolf gas cooktop stove in the kitchen, to an art studio & separate woodworking shop below, to a large indoor heated lap pool with a full-size pool table next door - invites you to pure luxury in a cabin-like setting. The kitchen island is a large cutting board for food prep. A second bar adds seating to enjoy marsh views as well as additional storage. Pocket doors allow better furniture placement. A wood-encased etched glass knee wall separates the lap pool from the pool table area. Original Native American photos, an antique fly rod & other gear adorn the pool house cedar walls. Cleaning is less of a hassle with a whole house vacuum. Newly painted interior & power washed exterior give the home a fresh clean look. Duct work was cleaned, & HVAC (house) & split system (pool house) were recently serviced as was the lap pool. Below is ample parking - out of the weather - for 3 SUVs. The Koi pond - left of the house - is ready to be filled & stocked. Well thought out features complement the property like the oversized banister at the covered porch to rest your cocktail & dinner with a large overhang. A nearby community pier provides private access to the ICW where watercraft – work & play – are active each day. With so much more to experience, come see why this should be your oasis for making memories.
