About This Home

This is more than a home- it's where your family's story unfolds. Welcome to a rare waterfront estate in Sunset Beach, designed for those who understand that the true luxury of a property isn't just in its finishes--it's in the moments it creates. From summer afternoons on the water to holiday gatherings that bring generations together, this is the place your family will return to for years to come. Built in 2013 by Whitney Blair Custom Homes, this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath residence offers 4,925 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, blending elevated craftsmanship with a warm, inviting layout made for connection. Expansive living areas flow seamlessly into one another, creating the perfect setting for hosting, celebrating, and simply being together. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen--anchored by a premium Wolf range--opens to gathering spaces filled with natural light and panoramic water views. Rich Cumaru Brazilian Teak flooring adds depth and character throughout, while a climate-controlled wine room sets the stage for evenings that stretch long past sunset. Step outside and the lifestyle becomes undeniable. With 140 feet of water frontage, a private dock with lift, and direct access to the water, boating becomes part of your daily rhythm. Mornings begin on the balcony with coffee and quiet views, while afternoons transition effortlessly to the pool and outdoor grilling area as family and friends arrive. Designed with multigenerational living in mind, the home offers spacious bedroom suites, multiple balconies, and a whole-house elevator--ensuring comfort and accessibility for everyone, now and in the years ahead. Set on .4 acres with two garages and a whole-house generator, every detail has been considered to provide both ease and peace of mind. Easily accessible for out-of-state owners, the home is conveniently located within an hour's drive of both Wilmington International Airport (ILM) and Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR), making travel simple for extended stays, weekend visits, and welcoming family from across the country. This is not just a coastal property- it's a legacy. A place where traditions are built, where time slows down, and where the people who matter most come together again and again.
