Perfectly positioned on the fairway of Hole #3 on The Bird Course in the sought-after Sea Trail community, this beautifully appointed 2022-built townhome delivers 2,598 square feet of open, light-filled coastal living across three levels -- all connected by a private in-unit elevator. With four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and thoughtful high-end upgrades throughout, this home is move-in-ready. The main living level is the heart of the home: an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining space anchored by quartz countertops, a gas stovetop insert with a separate wall oven, and an upgraded all-wood pantry. The living room welcomes you with shiplap accent walls, a built-in bench, and a cozy gas fireplace, while 9' telescopic sliding doors open seamlessly onto a screened-in porch for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A flexible bedroom or den and a convenient half bath complete this level. Upstairs, the top floor is a private retreat featuring a serene primary suite, a second bedroom with its own ensuite bath, and a dedicated laundry room. The ground level offers a private bedroom with a full ensuite and its own covered walk-out patio -- ideal for guests -- plus a one-car garage with an epoxy-coated floor. Every detail has been considered, from upscale plantation-style interior shutters on all windows to a whole-house reverse osmosis water system, Trex front-porch decking, and the ease of an elevator serving all three floors. Enjoy fairway views from your screened porch and a short walk to the community pool. A high-end washer and dryer and refrigerator are included. Living in Sea Trail Plantation means access to luxury resort-style amenities that make coastal life that much sweeter. Homeowners enjoy three 18-hole golf courses designed by Dan Maples, Rees Jones, and Willard Byrd -- each offering a unique challenge while remaining approachable to players of all skill levels -- plus an illuminated driving range, a PGA-approved golf school, and two putting greens. Beyond the greens, residents have access to two full-service clubhouses, two private fitness centers complete with pools, whirlpools, and saunas, racket sports facilities, a community garden, fitness classes, and private parking on Sunset Beach -- first-class access to one of North Carolina's most beautiful beaches. But you don't have to be a golfer to feel right at home here. Within this gated community, residents from all walks of life have created more than 15 interest groups and clubs -- from foodie gatherings and card games to book clubs and exercise classes -- so no matter your ''thing,'' you'll find like-minded neighbors. And just beyond the community, Sunset Beach's parks, restaurants, and local shops await, with the charming coastal towns of Ocean Isle Beach, Shallotte, Calabash, and Little River all just a stone's throw away.
