This striking seven bedroom, 7 1/2 bathroom home exudes southern charm with the expansive wrap around porch. A reverse floor plan provides the owner with breathtaking views of West Beach and the Cape Fear River. You can watch the ships and fishing vessels from your front porch, as well as the NC Fourth of July fireworks in Southport. Dine al fresco from the covered porch located off of the dining area while enjoying the awe-inspiring sunsets. This coveted location is a short distance to the BHI Marina. Stroll down West Beach for dinner or a drink at one of the marina restaurants. With a beach access directly across the street from this home and some of the best fishing on the island, catching the evening's dinner is steps from your front door. The upper floor of the house is home to a spacious living area, gourmet kitchen, dining area, multiple decks and porches, and a master bedroom suite with private deck. All of the rooms on this level have spectacular views of West Beach and the Cape Fear River. The gourmet kitchen overlooks a spacious living room bathed in natural light with a vaulted ceiling. A discerning chef will appreciate the gas range, granite counter tops, and custom cabinets in this comfortable kitchen. The first level of the home has four bedrooms and a large gathering area for family nights and relaxing. The two bedroom, two bath guest cottage is accessible by open deck from the main house. Your guest can enjoy morning coffee in the cozy sitting room located in their private suite. The seven bedrooms in this home all have en suite bathrooms adorned with tiled floors and baths. Some of the many upgrades to this beautiful home include an elevator, new roof (110K), new HVAC units, new exterior paint, and more. The ground level of the home contains two garages, storage areas, and a large additional space that could be home to a ping pong table and pool table. This never rented home is in impeccable condition and tastefully furnished with two golf carts.
