Magnificent waterfront living with sweeping views of the Lockwood Folly River, Holden Beach, Oak Island and Intracoastal Waterway all less than 5 miles from Holden Beach Island. This rare, custom residence is a true standout, offering a resort-style outdoor setting, extensive upgrades, and a one-of-a-kind guest addition that feels like a private retreat.

At the heart of the home is a spectacular pool and spa, with an expansive deck designed for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the ever-changing river and marsh scenery. A 500 sq ft addition fondly known as the ''Tree House'' creates exceptional flexibility with a bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, dining/living studio space, and custom built-ins, plus its own private entrance and a view deck accented with modern steel cable railing.

Arrive via a charming circular driveway and step onto the custom flagstone front porch, framed by coastal stained-glass sidelights and transom windows. Inside, the home is warm and elevated, featuring a tongue-and-groove ceiling and an open living concept that flows outdoors complete with a flagstone fireplace and captivating water views from the main living spaces. The kitchen showcases ornate ceiling details, and the bathrooms have been remodeled, blending style and function for everyday living and effortless hosting.

The primary suite is positioned to maximize the panorama, featuring tranquil water views and doors leading directly to the pool deck. A desirable split-bedroom floor plan places two additional spacious bedrooms on the opposite side of the home, connected by a shared bath highlighted by a distinctive custom floor finished with reclaimed teak wood. A show-stopping sunroom delivers water views in every direction, complemented by knotty pine paneling and artisan tile flooring, an ideal space for morning coffee, hobbies, or sunset unwind time.

Notable features and upgrades include riparian rights, a fortified roof, high-impact windows, and a whole-house Halo water filtration system. Recent improvements include a new oven, washer, and dryer, along with extensive pool updates, including the heater, pump, filter, cover, and cleaner plus an elevated equipment platform and thoughtful poolside touches like beverage shelves and a stunning custom wood table that's truly functional art.
