This custom Craftsman-style home in Woodland Bayou is a true waterfront paradise. Nestled on a tree-lined lot of over an acre, it has been meticulously maintained and well-loved. As well as a traditional front porch to greet you, it has a deep pavered terrace to the rear. It's the perfect place for relaxing with nature and enjoying unspoiled lake views. Oversized tile and white oak engineered hardwood flooring flow through this spacious home, encompassing three ensuite bedrooms, a spacious home office, a family room, den and a formal dining room for entertaining. Lofty 10-foot coffered ceilings, eight-foot solid wood doors and multiple picture windows framing lake views add to each generously-sized space. The open-concept chef's kitchen is truly inspiring, with gray Shaker-style cabinetry, a gas range and quality KitchenAid appliances. A "Downton Abbey"-sized pantry with shelving provides out-of-sight storage for small appliances. The center island is a natural gathering place for socializing, casual dining or serving happy hour cocktails. An additional breakfast nook provides further dining options. Head into the sitting area with a row of windows filled with leafy lakefront views. It's the perfect spot for watching your favorite sports and movies beneath a coffered ceiling. A separate flex space adjacent to the living room provides a versatile area for various possible uses. The split floor plan has a stunning primary suite with direct access to the lengthy rear porch. It's the perfect place to watch herons and wildlife on the lake while savoring a cup of coffee. Two custom walk-in closets will thrill fashion lovers with dedicated storage space for everything. The spa-like master bathroom showcases a stand-alone soaking tub, a separate shower and his-and-hers vanities. Guests have their own beautiful suites with custom walk-in closets and pristine private bathrooms. In addition, the home has two half baths and a second-floor loft/bonus room. This 500-sq.-ft space is ideal as a media room, home office, bunk room or family game room. Two insulated storage rooms can also be accessed on this upper level. The vast two-car garage has epoxy floors, a built-in work bench and ample space for storing tools, bikes and beach toys. It even has its own half bath with a sink for cleaning up. With no ARB in place, new owners have the freedom to add a carriage house or pool if desired. This welcoming home is conveniently close to the bay, Grand Boulevard, Sacred Heart, 30A shops and restaurants, and Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. Beautiful beaches are less than four miles away, providing something for everyone.
