PRIVATE BOAT SLIP (elevated dry slip) | ELEVATOR (interior 3 level access) | WATER VIEWS | CUSTOM LUXURY RESIDENCE Austere Opulence -- Immerse yourself in this paradoxical design concept that blends minimalism & luxury all under one roof. A rare expression of intentional design, this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom coastal residence offers 3,302 square feet of meticulously curated living space on nearly half an acre. With water views, a boat slip, and an elevator, the home delivers an exceptional coastal lifestyle. Yet its most remarkable feature cannot be measured in square feet or counted among its amenities. It is the feeling you experience the moment you enter. Three colors. One extraordinary vision. Every element of this residence was thoughtfully selected to create an atmosphere of effortless sophistication and absolute tranquility. A disciplined palette of sand, dark oak, and black carries seamlessly from exterior to interior. The home's warm sand-colored exterior mirrors its interior walls. Rich hardwood flooring shares its exact stain with the exterior tongue-and-groove decking and custom woodwork. Every fixture, hinge, cabinet accent, appliance, and architectural detail is unified through a consistent black finish. The result is a masterful study in austere opulence--the rare intersection of minimalist restraint, exceptional craftsmanship, and extraordinary materials. The dramatic, vaulted living room makes an unforgettable impression with soaring, richly stained tongue-and-groove ceilings, architectural black accents, expansive windows, and a striking fireplace. Natural light moves effortlessly through the space, highlighting the warmth of the wood and the deliberate simplicity of its design. The kitchen continues this commitment to uncompromising detail. Exquisite white stone surfaces, distinguished by dramatic organic veining, flow continuously across the countertops, island, and full-height backsplash, extending behind the cooktop to create a seamless architectural statement. Custom black cabinetry and integrated design elements provide a sophisticated contrast, allowing the natural beauty of the stone to take center stage. The primary suite offers a private retreat defined by warmth, texture, and understated elegance. Its spa-inspired bathroom is nothing short of remarkable. Expansive, marble-look stone tile flows continuously across the bathroom floor, into the shower, and vertically to the ceiling, creating an uninterrupted composition of natural movement and texture. A freestanding soaking tub takes center stage between dual wood vanities, illuminated mirrors, and elegant black fixtures. Every surface feels intentional. Every detail contributes to the experience. Even the powder room is a work of art, featuring a sculptural, floating black stone sink with a richly textured exterior, complemented by minimalist wall-mounted fixtures. An unexpected statement of craftsmanship in a space so often overlooked. Outside, the home's striking black-and-sand architecture, expansive covered porches, custom woodwork, and carefully composed landscaping extend the same refined aesthetic into its natural surroundings. Beyond the architecture lies the ultimate coastal luxury: water views and access to boating through your very own raised boat slip, bringing the beauty and freedom of coastal North Carolina into everyday life. For those who recognize the difference between an expensive home and an exceptional one, this residence offers an experience as distinctive as its design.
