Live the waterfront Carolina dream with your boat out your back door at your own private dock! The home is perched on a .71-acre bluff overlooking a pristine saltwater creek, safely outside the flood hazard zone and on a quiet cul-de-sac. The ICW and ocean and inlet are nearby with miles of sandy beaches! The dock is on a dredged creek navigable at all tides and features a 53-foot floating dock, water and 30 amp power. Inherently inviting, the three bedroom, three bath rustic contemporary combines traditional charm with a modern open plan design perfect for entertaining big. Warmed by a stacked stone gas logs fireplace, the great room also features a cathedral ceiling of knotty pine and dual gliding doors overlooking the tranquil water views.

The balcony overlook from both allows the knotty pine to be a focus from up and down! There is also a 3rd bedroom with full bath, pocket door, walk in closet and eave storage. Speaking of storage, the 26x13 walk out basement with utility sink can be a man-cave or she-cave in waiting!
