Welcome to this enchanted custom-built eclectic cottage, surrounded by breath-taking landscaping, with a large setback and nestled in an upscale waterfront community of Tradewinds Cove on the edge of the coastal town of Hampstead. A wanderlust mountain-feel stone porch invites you to sit and gather with friends and neighbors. You will be able to absorb the blend and the charm of a traditional cottage with the freedom of eclectic design, resulting in a unique and personalized interior. As you enter the grand foyer, you will immediately notice gorgeous Cumaru (Brazilian Teak) wooden floors rounding out the Caribbean vibe. A den with a coffered ceiling situated on your left welcomes you and feels as though it was made for cozy evenings around a fireplace with a nice glass of wine, reading your favorite author, playing family games, conducting deep conversations or just watching movies. Through a colossal archway you will carry on to a formal dining room with a bay window that's ready for its new owners to host their holiday meals. The gourmet kitchen offers custom built executive cabinetry with a soft closing system which provides a wealth of storage space, glistening granite counter tops, a working island, stainless-steel appliances, a coffee station, a pantry and a breakfast nook. This kitchen will please every chef and make any cooking experience much more enjoyable. The current owners use the lovely living room with charming wooden ceiling beams as their ''Zen Room'' while overlooking their private outdoor space with ornamental plants and saltwater pool. The secluded Master Suite with built-ins, two walk-in closets, a double vanity and a custom tiled walk-in shower emphasizes privacy and offers direct access to the pool area. Three spare bedrooms share a full bathroom. A laundry room offers a sink and storage cabinets. A coat closet, a utility storage closet and a half bathroom complete the living level. Don't forget to explore the almost 300 sq.ft. of additional storage space above the garage. Enjoy your afternoon's Southern tea on a nicely shaded and large covered patio with a wooden ceiling which overlooks the pool area. The Floridian style pool enclosure keeps all the bugs away and allows you to just relax, take a dip in your pool and have fun. The second half bathroom is conveniently accessible from the patio and ready for all your wild parties and intimate evenings.
