This is an extraordinarily rare coastal sanctuary, the kind of once-in-a-lifetime find that almost never comes to market, just minutes from the beach and the historic Southport waterfront, yet set on nearly a full acre wrapped in serene woods for remarkable privacy, tranquility, and breathing room. Thoughtfully designed and impeccably maintained, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers every bedroom with its own private en-suite bath, a sun-drenched sunroom, rich real hardwood floors, and a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry and an inviting dining area, complemented by exceptional storage including an enormous walk-in attic. A heated and cooled workshop off the two-car garage is a true unicorn feature, while natural gas fuels the stove, tankless water heater, dryer, and fireplace for comfort and efficiency, and a whole-house generator ensures uninterrupted peace of mind. Step outside to a stunning covered rear patio overlooking a fenced yard and an untouched wooded backdrop, your own secluded retreat where nature and privacy take center stage, plus an outdoor shed for even more storage. Not in a flood zone, free of city taxes, and located just five minutes from the beach, seaside golf, dining, entertainment, and medical facilities, this is a profoundly special property that simply cannot be replicated.
