This 5 (possibly 6) bedroom, 4.5 bath beach retreat's deep covered front porch welcomes you home. Linger and listen to cicada songs or enter the front hall of this reverse floor plan where you'll be delighted by the rich, dark hardwoods. To the right is a room currently being used as a TV den but which could easily be a sixth bedroom. This opens into a serene Queen suite with a private full bath. On the other side of the hall are two more light-filled bedrooms. The first is a Queen and the second houses two Twins. Both offer built-ins, large closets and utilize the convenient full hall bath. The laundry is also on this level. Upstairs, the spacious open floor plan is highlighted by a beamed ceiling and walls of windows bringing in bright sunshine. The generous living area boasts blue seascapes, a gas fireplace and accesses both the water-facing screened porch and the covered front rocking-chair porch. You'll be spending lots of time on both watching breaking waves. The multi-chef kitchen also lets you savor spectacular vistas and is equipped with stainless appliances and plenty of counter space and storage-including attractive glass-fronted cabinets. From here, you can step onto the screened porch or into the nearby window-sided dining area which has two tables and perimeter bench seating. Tucked into both ends of this floor are two Queen Suites. The first, down a quiet hall, provides egress to two more porches-a side porch off the hall (perfect for morning coffee) and a dune-directed covered back porch-ideal for nature-watching. From its four-poster Rice bed to its own TV den to its spa-like bath, this suite pampers. On the other end of this level, another luminous Queen suite indulges with front porch access, ocean panoramas, a large walk-in and a full en suite. A half bath is also on this floor. One of the best opportunities for an ocean view home that also offers quite a bit of privacy! Centrally located on BHI-close to shops, restaurants and just steps to the beach access, this property conveys as furnished (some exclusions apply) & with 2 golf carts. BHI Club Full membership available for separate purchase!
