985 Bald Head

Crowning Bald Head's Dune Ridge, this 5 BR, 4.5 BA reverse floor plan Peter Quinn-designed sanctuary delivers quiet while taking optimal advantage of its location to capture views from every angle-serene Maritime Forest perspectives and expansive azure Atlantic panoramas. Off the spacious foyer, a cozy TV den (perfect room to convert to the 5th BR) accesses this level's shaded back screened porch. Beyond, a Full suite-with its own private bath-also provides entrée to the porch. Around the corner, a bright Twin suite sleeps two and supplies an ensuite with tub as well as a door to the ocean-facing front covered porch for seascapes inside and out. Next door, a large, sunlit corner Queen suite, with a sitting area, delights with two sides of water scenes as well as front porch entry. Halfway up the gleaming hardwood stairs, a window bench reading nook, w/ built-ins, boasts more glinting ocean prospects. The sun-drenched top floor's open floor plan, soaring ceilings & glassed bay walls showcase the surf's majesty from the Shoals far down South Beach. Savor those vistas warmed by the gas fireplace in the generous living space or outside while relishing briny breezes on the top floor's sun deck. Nearby, a dining porch lets you feast alfresco but you also have the option to eat inside while still observing the breakers. The considerable, multi-chef gourmet kitchen features yards of quartz prep space, a breakfast bar seating 5, a built-in desk, a wine cooler and tons of storage. Off it are the laundry and the top level's back screened porch-perfect for nature-watching. Down a hall is the powder room & the corner Queen Owner's suite which furnishes a sitting area, private screened porch egress & a pampering bath w/ jetted tub, water closet, dual vanity & tiled shower. Convenient to the beach, clubs, & shops; adjacent to a donated lot & conveying with two golf carts (a four- and a six-seater), this home also offers a Full BHI Club membership for separate purchase.
