Relaxing
Retreat
Double dormers and a welcoming covered porch
create an inviting exterior for this 3-bedroom coastal home which is
scenically set within the natural
wetlands at Indigo Plantation
in Southport, North Carolina.
A dramatic, two-story entry foyer
has an open staircase to the second floor and a graceful arched entry to
the great room. To the left of the foyer, knee walls with stately columns
offset the formal dining room, which has easy access to the kitchen. The
open design of the great room is geared for relaxed entertaining with
beautiful built-in cabinetry, a cozy corner gas fireplace, and a
convenient wet bar. French doors open onto a large covered porch which has
a "stepped down" sundeck both of which embrace the surrounding natural beauty of this property.
The U-shaped kitchen is well planned,
with its island preparation area, abundant counter space and a built-in
computer desk. A large peninsula counter adjoins the breakfast room
which opens via French doors to a screened porch for casual outdoor
dining.. A pocket door off the breakfast room leads into the ample
laundry area and a walk-in pantry.
The master bedroom is privately
situated on the main level and features a luxury
bathroom with a dual vanity and a large tiled shower. The roomy
walk-in closet, (6'6 x 9'5), is large enough for him and her. An office,
which may also be used as a guest bedroom, and a full bathroom, are
also set to this side of the main level. A centrally located passenger
elevator provides egress throughout the levels of this home.
The second level, with its
dramatic loft overlooking both the entry foyer and the great room, has
guest accommodations that include two spacious bedrooms, each having their
own private screened porch, and two full bathrooms. Ample attic
storage is also provided.
The ground level of this home
has "enclosed" parking, entrance to the passenger elevator and an internal
staircase, along with an outdoor shower.
