'In Mari Via'- Cape Fear Station, between Turtle Central & Shoals- Walk to beach

In Mari Via- 'On the Path to the Sea' Located at the east end Federal Road.... directly on the way to the ocean! 4 bedroom, 4 1/2 bath house located in Cape Fear Station at the eastern tip of Bald Head Island. Located just past the BHI conservancy, on the way to East Beach and the Shoals club. An easy flip-flop friendly, two minute walk to both East and South beaches, Turtle Central and the Cape Fear Station Park. 2015 was our first year in our beautiful BHI retreat & the home's first year ever as a rental property. Built as a Charleston 'side-yard' style house, our home has a quaint covered porch entrance from the street and a huge, private courtyard at the side of the house with plentiful teak seating and shady palm trees. On balmy summer evenings, this is a great place to enjoy easy conversations with family and friends while listening the relaxing sound of ocean waves in the background. Inside, the house has 10 to 12 foot ceilings throughout and is light, bright & airy. Beautiful heart-pine floors throughout downstairs. The kitchen is modern and open to adjacent separate dining room and family room in front of house. Up just a few steps from the main level, there is a large, well appointed, downstairs master bedroom with king bed, private entrance, spacious vaulted ceilings and master bath with large, spa-like, walk-in shower. Second floor has a very spacious second master bedroom with king bed, also with vaulted ceilings and walk in shower. Third bedroom has a queen bed, bay window, vaulted ceiling and pretty tiled bathroom with double vanity. Both upstairs bedrooms open onto the screened in porch- wonderful for enjoying a morning cup of coffee while watching the sun rise over the tree tops. The fourth bedroom is a favorite for the kids in our family who feel that they have their own special 'tree-house'. Located up an outside, spiral staircase, in the 'crofter' above the two-cart garage, this room as twin beds and it's own bathroom. Outside is a small private deck that is perfect for doing a little astronomy on a warm, starry, summer evening. (There is a telescope kept up there just for this purpose.)
