The builder's personal residence in Redd's Cove, built with the quality and upgrades a builder saves for his own home. The community is made for boating and sport fishing, with a private boat ramp to deep-water canals and the Intracoastal Waterway, and the beaches of Topsail Island are just minutes away. Upstairs, the main living level opens into a bright kitchen built for entertaining, a living room with a fireplace, and walls of windows throughout. The primary suite is also on this level, with a sunroom that opens to the deck, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa bath with a freestanding soaking tub and a frameless tiled shower. With four bedrooms in all, there's plenty of room for guests. Downstairs, the 1,550 sf three-bay garage is a true entertainer's clubhouse, with a hot tub, a bar and a lounge area, plus room to park your cars, golf cart or small boat. A screened porch and covered patio sit just outside, along with an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day on the water. An exterior elevator lift makes carrying groceries and gear upstairs easy, and the oversized driveway fits five or more cars plus a boat and trailer. Redd's Cove also offers a waterfront gazebo with a kayak launch, a fire pit, a pergola lounge and a playground. Builder-quality craftsmanship, a modern-coastal interior with fine finishes and comfortable space, a garage you'll never want to leave, and the water at your doorstep: this one checks every box.
