Property Description
Perfectly positioned on a stunning 1.63-acre homesite, this custom-built coastal retreat immediately makes an impression as you arrive along the circular driveway framed by swaying palm trees, mature landscaping, and an inviting Southern presence. From the moment you step through the front door, you are welcomed by soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, an elegant staircase, and thoughtfully designed spaces ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, upgraded appliances, extended bar seating, under-cabinet lighting, and a spacious breakfast nook large enough for gathering family and friends. Just beyond, the main living area offers warmth and character with a cozy fireplace, custom shiplap accents, and abundant natural light overlooking the backyard oasis.
Designed with flexibility and functionality in mind, the main level also includes two guest bedrooms, a full bath, walk-in pantry, and a true laundry/mud room with private exterior access. Upstairs, you'll find additional guest suites, dedicated office space, and an expansive primary retreat complete with a spa-inspired ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and private deck access overlooking the pool and backyard. Multiple bedrooms offer direct access to outdoor decks, creating seamless indoor-outdoor coastal living.
The lower level provides additional finished flex spaces perfect for a media room, gym, hobby area, guest overflow, or home business setup, along with access to the oversized two-car garage.
Outside is where this property truly shines. Enjoy long summer days around the inground saltwater pool, evenings gathered around the custom firepit area, or peaceful mornings on the covered back deck overlooking the expansive backyard. With plenty of parking, room for your boat and recreational toys, plus a detached storage shed with attached carport, this property offers both beauty and practicality.
Forest Sound residents enjoy access to a private deeded boat ramp with trailer and golf cart parking, making it easy to spend your days exploring the Intracoastal Waterway, nearby islands, and Topsail waters.
Extensively upgraded and meticulously maintained, recent improvements include updated landscaping, fresh interior paint, new LVP flooring, refinished hardwood stairs, upgraded lighting and fixtures, newly finished basement spaces, crawlspace encapsulation, pool equipment upgrades, security system additions, and much more.
This is more than just a home -- it's a lifestyle property designed for gathering, entertaining, boating, relaxing, and making memories along the North Carolina coast.
