Vacationing on a barrier island can be a lot of fun. For a week or so. Living on a barrier island is a little more involved. There is the matter of space, as in a yard. This home, by Wrightsville Beach standards has a huge yard. Fenced. Private. Landscaped. Large concrete driveways. Concrete basketball court. Plenty of room for a pool...or not. Then there is the issue of neighborhood. Harbor Island is the place you want to be. There are no parking meters in front of this home. Walking distance to Wrightsville Beach Elementary School, shopping, churches, community sound access, it is all here. What about the house? It is big. Over three thousand feet big, not including two enclosed 30 foot deep garages. In addition there is a ground floor enclosed entry foyer with an elevator. The first living level includes 3 bedrooms, three full bathrooms and an office/den. Two of the rooms open up to a 40 foot covered porch, one of four large porches that surround the entire house. Need more deck? Go up to the roof top observation deck and survey the entire island. Sunrise or Sunset, the view will be hard to beat. Back inside the house you will find the great room and primary bedroom on the top level, both with access to the other 40ft deck. The primary bedroom has a tongue and groove ceiling, his and hers built in dressers, walk in closets, large bath with soaking tub and walk in shower, and black out curtains if you prefer to miss the great sunrise views. The kitchen is open with granite countertops and stainless appliances. 9ft ceilings throughout the home. Other features include gas fireplace, Sonos surround sound, wet bar, alarm system, security cameras, 3 zone heat pumps, stainless steel flashings, emergency generator, and extensive whole house Kinetico R.O. water system. I am sure we are leaving a few things out. Come take a look for yourself. You are going to want to live in this immaculately maintained home, because this is what living on a barrier island is all about...
