24 Laughing Gull Trail, Bald Head Island, NC 28461

This beautiful ocean view home was designed by a notable island architect and then sturdily built by Parker Dudley with high quality custom finishes. Not rented, family use only and carefully maintained. The reverse floor plan features four ample bedrooms, all ensuite, with large closets and storage areas throughout the home.. From the covered front porch, enter the foyer and note the property's high-end finishes like hardwoods and wainscoting. To the right, a bright corner Queen suite features-like all the home's baths-a marble vanity and walk-in tiled shower. At the end of the hall, another family-friendly-sized bedroom with ensuite, currently used as a den, offers egress to a deep, water-facing screened porch-perfect for rocking to ocean lullabies. Back inside down the hall is the laundry and another sunny corner Queen suite tendering marine vistas and a luxe bath with a crushed glass/marble vanity and pebbled shower. On the other end of this level you'll find the elevator, a small foyer with built-in bench at the top of the inside steps and the light-filled King Master suite. Relish seascapes from this haven's multiple windows or step outside through its private access to the screened porch. This suite also boasts a walk-in closet, wall of built-ins (including a desk) and an oversize spa-like bath with dual vanity, glassed shower and pedestal tub. Upstairs, the open floor plan's vaulted ceiling and surrounding windows ensure plenty of natural light and spotlight a panorama of South Beach. Enjoy the sight and sunshine from the large back deck or just inside from the spacious living area, anchored by a gas fireplace and housing not only a comfortable conversation space, but also a cozy reading window bench and stuffed chairs. The nearby kitchen's Monogram stainless appliances, plentiful storage and yards of counters will delight chefs. Snack here at the breakfast bar, al fresco on the deck or at the elegant table in the adjacent dining area.
