About this home
ULTRA CUSTOM LUXURY HOME
Nestled on prestigious Portsmouth Way, this luxurious coastal estate blends timeless design, elevated craftsmanship, and resort-style comfort in one exceptional property. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a striking impression with its full Ipe driveway and porches, professionally landscaped grounds, and fully integrated irrigation system. Set on an estate-sized homesite, the property offers both privacy and tranquility while remaining within easy walking distance to the Shoals Club and popular East Beach. A private rear porch overlooks permanent forest views, creating a peaceful setting for relaxing or entertaining, while on one side of the home, a Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden adds natural beauty and can be enjoyed from a gallery hallway lined with large windows. Inside, two words define this home: elegance and light. The open-concept floor plan is filled with natural light and designed for effortless flow between living spaces. Architectural details include white oak box beams and a custom floating staircase that serves as a sculptural focal point, while expansive windows create a bright, serene atmosphere throughout. Thoughtfully selected lighting, fixtures, finishes, and tile contribute to a cohesive, refined interior, and the home's open, spacious layout was designed to feel both practical and inviting. The result is a home that feels calm, simple, and uncluttered--a place to exhale, embrace the beauty of the island, and leave the stresses of the mainland behind. Distinctive custom concrete elements include the fireplace surround, a ramp sink, and powder room counter. The primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a zero-entry double shower, and the morning light filtering through the back forest into the primary bedroom creates a particularly beautiful start to the day. All four bedrooms are thoughtfully appointed with luxurious bedding, including a brand-new Helix Midnight Elite mattress in the primary bedroom and Saatva Organic Cotton Luxury Firm mattresses in the three guest bedrooms. The kitchen is designed for both beauty and performance, featuring Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a large walk-in pantry, reverse osmosis water filtration, and an undercounter wine cooler. Whether hosting guests or preparing everyday meals, the space is fully equipped for culinary creativity. Additional features include automated hot water, Sonos sound system, integrated security system with cameras, Hunter Douglas PowerView shades, automated garage doors, as well as automated thermostats and Big Ass + Haiku ceiling fans for year-round comfort. A Speed Queen washer and dryer further enhance the home's convenience. Offered elegantly furnished, the home includes Restoration Hardware furniture and rugs, Pottery Barn bedding, and Belgian linen curtains. Lifestyle amenities include a six-passenger Club Car with lithium battery, a four-passenger GEM cart, three Priority beach bikes, and two brand-new Sunflow beach chairs--everything needed to embrace the island lifestyle with ease and style. Bald Head Island Club Refundable Lifestyle Membership and Shoals Club Membership available for separate purchase....
