Located behind the private gates of Shipwatch Village, this beautiful 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath Cape Cod home showcases a bit of southern hospitality in the front yard along with a serene, tropical oasis in the backyard. As you make your way down this circular driveway, canopied by historical oak trees, you are welcomed with a wrap-around front porch dressed in Bahama shutters that will lead into an open floor plan home featuring mesmerizing water views from every room. The spacious living room features a wood burning fireplace as well as panoramic water views. Vaulted shiplap ceilings, lovely hardwoods and electric blinds are exhibited throughout the main living area. A gourmet kitchen comes complete with KitchenAid appliances, Quartz countertops and a walk-in pantry with custom built shelves. From the kitchen you can also access the rear covered porch and sundeck which leads you to the downstairs outdoor paradise. The master suite is located on the main level offering a full bath with a clawfoot tub, a tile walk-in shower, a lovely sitting area with reclaimed barn wood as well as an abundant amount of cedar lined closet storage. Imagine waking up to serene water-views every morning in this master suite. Upstairs leads to three additional bedrooms along with a full bath. The first floor features an additional climate controlled 900 SF rooms that can be used as a den, game area, or workout area which opens to a (3) car, ''drive through'' garage allowing for vehicles or extra storage. In addition to ground level amenities, there is a multipurpose room with roll-up glass garage doors that open to the outdoor private retreat. This paradise checks all the boxes for entertainment from the gas-heated saltwater pool, a custom-built stone fire pit, a professionally installed putting green, and a covered grilling area with breathtaking sunset views from the private dock and beach overlooking the Cape Fear River. Don't let this one-of-a-kind property slip away!
