Live the boater and beach lifestyle in the private, gated enclave of Southport on the Bay within Barefoot Beach. This nearly new luxury residence offers the best of coastal community living. Beyond the grand double-door entry, you're greeted by an open and expansive great room that overlooks the home's most breathtaking feature, a private tropical backyard oasis. The resort-style pool and spa, complete with water and fire features, sit amid lush landscaping, a fenced yard and a serene preserve backdrop, ideal for entertaining and quiet relaxation. Inside, an expansive open floor plan is grounded by wide plank wood floors and soaring ceilings with elegant millwork throughout. The great room and oversized owner's suite offer stunning views of the outdoor retreat, while the suite itself includes a private sitting area, walk-in closet with custom built-in cabinets and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, walk-in shower and dual vanities. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with top-tier appliances, including a Wolf five-burner gas cooktop, oven and microwave, as well as a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and a stylish dry bar with glass-front cabinets. Each of the three guest bedrooms features its en-suite bath, offering comfort and privacy for family or visitors. On the lower level, a large bonus flex space opens to the pool area, while an elevator provides access to all floors. The garage is split for function and flexibility, one bay air-conditioned for a single vehicle, and the other offering ample space for four or more, depending on size, both finished with epoxy floors. Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room with a sink, front-load washer and dryer, and custom cabinetry. This residence also includes a smart home system, custom lighting and full surround sound from inside to outside. Only three years old, this meticulously maintained home combines modern design, convenience and the tropical beauty that defines Barefoot Beach. Dock your boat at the Southport Yacht Club or other various marinas in the area. And to enhance your lifestyle experience even further, membership at the Club at Barefoot Beach is a must!
