This incredible showcase home is set on one of the most premier locations on the east coast, oceanfront on Figure Eight Island, a beautiful and exclusive private retreat. The panoramic view of the ocean from the beachfront deck is unparalleled, and the front decks have unobstructed views of the endless marsh leading to the Intracoastal Waterway.
When the owners of 310 Beach Road North decided to build a beach house on Figure Eight Island, they wanted it to feel like a beach house - a classic beach house. You won’t find plush carpeting or ornate fixtures. The floors and walls are gorgeous hardwood, the feel is casual, and the focus is on enjoying the outdoors and maximizing the views.
The initial plans for the house did not include wrap around decks, but the homeowners changed the plans to provide more emphasis to the outdoors. You will likely note that all three upstairs bedrooms have access to decks and also have their own private bath.
One of the most striking things about the kitchen is the 50’s style vintage refrigerator. It looks old but is new, and adds to the nostalgic feel of the home. The kitchen was decorated using the refrigerator as the basis.
The wooden floors have also generated a lot of discussion. The wood is from Cape Fear Riverwood, reclaimed heart of pine dredged out of the Cape Fear River.
There are two master bedrooms, upstairs and downstairs. Each bathroom is unique, and the upstairs master bath was modeled after a hotel in Paris.
There has recently been a room added to the bottom floor, in the middle of the carport. The bottom floor is heated, has recently been tiled and a bathroom has been added, but due to flood rules it is not included as living space square footage. It could serve as a playroom or storage.
