Tucked into Bald Head’s sought-after Cape Fear Station, close to prestigious East Beach, this four-bedroom, three-bath retreat’s extra-long rocking chair porch greets and beckons you to sit and relax listening to waves hitting the Atlantic’s shore. Inside, the open floor plan starts in the comfortable sunlit living area that is accented by a beamed cathedral ceiling. Across, the bright dining space seats six and is cornered by natural-light-filled windows. A large pass-through to the kitchen reveals yards of granite counters for food prep, plenty of storage, and a stainless refrigerator and microwave as well as a dishwasher and range. Plus, there’s a door to the oversize screened back porch-the perfect place for a quiet, briny breeze-filled nap, happy hour or alfresco dining while scanning the Island’s serene Maritime Forest for neighboring deer. Steps down are a spacious oak-canopied dining/grilling deck (with another dining set) and a private back yard enclosed by a charming white picket fence. Returning inside, the sunny first floor Primary King suite is handsomely furnished and provides a private ensuite with a glassed tile shower and a his and her vanity. Upstairs are a roomy King bedroom and a bright Twin bedroom that sleeps two. These share a pampering full hall bath with a tub, separate shower, and a dual vanity. The home’s HUGE crofter proffers another living area with a sleep sofa and Queen Murphy bed, a full eat-in kitchen, and a Queen bedroom. These share a full hall bath and are convenient to a second washer and dryer just below the crofter in the garage. This perch is ideal for teens, grandparents, a small family or just those seeking additional privacy. Located near the Shoals Club and Conservancy, conveying with two golf carts (a four- and a six-passenger), and boasting a recently updated (2024) roof and a great rental history, this BHI haven also offers a Shoals and a BHI Club full membership for separate purchase.
