Welcome to timeless elegance and modern comfort in this Barry Martin, custom-built home, located within one of Southport's most sought after neighborhoods, Harbor Oaks. This unique property, with almost an acre and a half of mature hardwoods and lush landscaping along Prices Creek, offers privacy within a natural setting. The deep setback, extended driveway, and classic low country wrap-around porch invites visitors to relax and enjoy a slower southern pace. As you enter the home, the warm glow of the oak floors leads you through a graceful formal dining room with custom built-in china cabinets, in to an inviting living room with a marsh view. The spacious gourmet kitchen, with custom cabinetry, 6 burner gas stove, and granite countertops, opens into a second gathering area. Thoughtfully placed French doors in the living room and kitchen lead you out to the fabulous marsh-facing screened-in porch, offering seamless flow for family and guests to gather and enjoy the heart of the home. Retreat to the comfortable first-floor primary suite, with views of the Prices Creek salt marsh and an expansive backyard that features a manicured fenced-in area as well as a natural buffer. The primary bath is a serene haven with a spa-like large shower, separate vanities, and a walk-in closet with built-ins and conveniently placed washer and dryer. Upstairs you will find two additional spacious bedrooms bathed in sunlight with generous closet space and tall ceilings. A second handsome full bathroom features an extra linen storage space, a tiled shower, and a glorious soaking tub. Extensive insulated in-eave storage and wall access on upper floors is a very special addition. There is also a large walk-in storage area perfect for storing heirlooms, holiday decor, or keeping life beautifully uncluttered.
