Located on a high homesite overlooking the 13th tee of the Bald Head Island Club golf course, 21 Bay Tree Trail offers a wonderful blend of scenic golf views, wildlife watching, and quiet island living. From this peaceful location beneath a canopy of live oaks, South Beach and the marina are just a five-minute cart ride away. Thoughtfully designed with a reverse floor plan to capture light and surrounding scenery, the home features four bedrooms and three and a half baths in the main house, along with a fifth bedroom and full bath in a private crofter. The first floor includes two guest bedrooms that share a bath as well as a beautifully renovated primary suite featuring custom tile and shower glass. Two of the bedrooms open onto the lower porch, creating a relaxing space to unwind and enjoy the surrounding maritime forest. Upstairs, the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together to create a bright and welcoming gathering space. In 2023, the kitchen was updated with new countertops and tile, while the living area features new gas logs and a custom tile fireplace surround. This level also includes a half bath, beverage center, and a large pantry. Just off the living area, the screened porch offers a prime vantage point for watching spoonbills, osprey, deer, and even the occasional alligator along the nearby lagoon. The third level provides additional privacy with a fourth bedroom, workspace area, and a bathroom featuring new custom tile and shower glass. A newly finished crofter above the garage offers a private guest retreat with its own bedroom and full bath, including custom shower glass. Outdoor living is enhanced by a fantastic deck, storage closet, and outdoor shower--perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. Renovated by respected Bald Head Island contractors, the home is well-built and thoughtfully updated with numerous improvements, including a new roof in 2022 and new HVAC for the first floor and screening for the upstairs porch in 2025. Interior details such as antique pine doors, shiplap accents, and hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout. Offered furnished with minimal exclusions and two golf carts, this home is ready for immediate enjoyment. A Lifestyle membership to the Bald Head Island Club is available for separate purchase.
