Arriving at the property, one cannot help but feel they're about to enter a special, one-of-a-kind, masterpiece of a home. What was it that started to make you feel that way? Could it be the professional landscape of manicured shrubs with the house symmetrically placed, bookended by mature pine trees? Or maybe it's the visually appealing front elevation of the home with its tasteful color scheme, Charleston stairway entry, stained glass transom window, or perhaps, the semi-circle balcony above? Inside, the spacious Italian marbled foyer delineates 1st floor formal living on the right from the bright & airy open spaces that encourage entertaining on the left. Directly in front and to the right, are a formal dining room and another living area, separate but contiguous, thanks to an illuminated tray ceiling. The hardwood floor of the main living area to the left, spreads openly across the kitchen, breakfast nook, and great room under a high, bright cathedral ceiling. The custom floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with waterfall feature acts as the centerpiece for gatherings. A ''loft'' above the main living area houses 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and office area. The 1st floor owner's suite offers privacy from the main living quarters of the home yet has easy access to the centrally located screened in porch. This newer 21' x 18' screened porch is also accessible through the great room. A well-equipped 700 sq ft apartment provides independent living quarters for long-term guests. A 3-car garage provides plenty of space for multiple vehicles and a workshop. The Cape is 1 mile N of the Intracoastal Waterway bridge onto Pleasure Island where you'll enjoy its miles of beaches (Carolina Beach, Kure Beach), Historical Fort Fisher, and the North Carolina Aquarium. Or, how about a day trip on a ferry over to Southport?
