## Description

### Agent Description
Rare oceanfront retreat offering sweeping views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. Perfectly positioned on a generous homesite, this coastal sanctuary captures sunrise to sunset vistas and the very essence of Bald Head Island living. This beautifully appointed 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home features over 3,300 square feet of light-filled living space designed for comfort and connection. Expansive decks and porches invite seamless indoor-outdoor living, while multiple vantage points showcase breathtaking water views from nearly every angle. The open-concept main living area is ideal for entertaining, with a spacious kitchen, large island, and inviting gathering spaces that flow effortlessly into dining and outdoor areas. Each bedroom offers privacy and comfort, making this home equally suited as a primary residence, second home, or high-performing rental. Step outside to your own private coastal oasis--complete with an in-ground pool, outdoor shower, and direct access to miles of pristine beach. Whether enjoying morning coffee with ocean breezes or evening sunsets over the river, every moment here feels extraordinary. Offered furnished and move-in ready, this property combines timeless coastal charm with exceptional location and lifestyle. Experience the tranquility, beauty, and exclusivity that make Bald Head Island one of North Carolina's most sought-after destinations. Coveys with two golf carts. Club membership(s) available for separate purchase.
