Description

Designed by Peter Quinn for Peter Quinn, this two bedroom/2.5 bath luxe Bald Head Island retreat is nestled into the Maritime Forest. Down a long, wooded drive, this showpiece's exterior boasts clean lines, a metal roof, a barn-doored garage, and tasteful accents. The welcoming front porch leads into the reverse floor plan's foyer. Follow the warm Brazilian cherry hardwoods to the first suite-a serene Queen with forest views, floor-to-ceiling built-ins, and a full bath. At the other end of the hall, the King Master provides a wall of built-ins and a large spa-like bath with a double vanity, oversize tile shower and sunken tub. Its private screened porch is the perfect spot for a morning coffee surrounded by nature. Going up stairs, you'll appreciate the craftmanship of the inlaid staircase, the artwork adorning the wall and the natural light shining through a large circular window. The second level's sunny open floorplan reveals treetop living through lots of glass. The living space is highlighted by a beamed vaulted ceiling, a marble fireplace and plenty of cozy seating. Just off it is another screened porch with both dining and sitting areas. The galley kitchen boasts stainless appliances, granite counters and scads of maple built-ins. Nearby, the dining space provides tranquil treed vistas as well as more built-ins. The top floor ends in a bright, office/studio that opens onto a second-floor porch with café table/chairs and a grill-ideal for evening relaxation. Behind the office is the home's laundry and a half bath. Conveniently located on the island-not far from the marina, shops, restaurants and the club. If living in harmony with nature is what you seek, this Bald Head sanctuary is for you.
