Tucked away in a serene, private stretch of the island, this expansive coastal retreat offers a rare connection to the natural beauty of the Carolina coast. Positioned in the rolling dunes (in a shaded X flood zone!), the home provides a front-row seat to local wildlife, breathtaking panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway and peek-a-boo views of the ocean and easy access to the beach in two close locations. Currently utilized as a primary residence, the home is being sold furnished and is perfectly configured for a rental transition. The layout features five bedrooms--four of which include private, en-suite bathrooms--providing ample space and privacy for large groups or entertaining. The main level is designed for functionality and flow, featuring hardwood floors in the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen offers generous storage with multiple cabinet pantries, while the spacious living area is anchored by a wall of built-ins and a fireplace. This floor also includes a laundry room with integrated storage, a powder room, and one bedroom with an attached bath. On the top level, the primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, including a large bath with tile shower and tub, and a private deck with composite decking that offers the best views in the home. Two additional bedrooms, each with its own private bath, complete the upper floor. On the ground floor, you'll find space for 3 cars in the garage, the entry foyer, a half bath and the 5th bedroom or flex room. With efficiency and flexibility - this property is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey piece of the island, whether as a private getaway or as an investment property.
