3858 Ridge Crest Drive

Southport, NC 28461

Just over 4,000 square feet of total heated living space, beautiful custom millwork, a private pool, separate cabana for family or guests and exceptional outdoor living distinguish this impressive home. A long paver driveway leads to the flagstone front porch and an impressive foyer with 19½-inch tile, decorative inserts and library paneling. Ceilings ranging from 10 to 14 feet, three-piece crown moldings, substantial 8-inch baseboards and surround sound throughout the home add to the thoughtful details. Elegant formal spaces showcase the home's architectural character and craftsmanship. The formal living room is highlighted by a striking granite light fixture that looks like a piece of art, with oversized sliding glass doors opening to the covered porch and offering views of the pool and backyard. The formal dining room features library paneling, a tray ceiling, tiled floor and built-in buffet with storage and recessed lighting, while French doors open to a dedicated office enhanced by beautiful custom millwork. The spacious gourmet kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and counter space, a large center island with storage, breakfast bar and separate eating area. Stainless steel Viking appliances include a six-burner cooktop, double ovens, warming drawer and refrigerator, complemented by a Bosch dishwasher and GE microwave. A wet bar with cabinetry and wine cooler between the kitchen and family room adds both convenience and another element for entertaining. Filled with natural light and views of the backyard and pool, the family room features a beautiful coffered ceiling and fireplace with decorative mantel flanked by two large built-in bookcases. Recently refinished gleaming hardwood floors extend through the kitchen and family room and continue into the primary suite, up the staircase and along the upstairs hallway. The main-level primary suite features generous custom closet space with built-ins and a spacious private bath with double vanities, separate jetted tub and shower, and private water closet. Two additional bedrooms--one on the main level and another upstairs--each feature an en-suite bath, providing comfortable and private accommodations for family or guests. Additional living space upstairs includes a dedicated media room with a separate wet bar area just outside, along with attic storage. Exceptional outdoor living is another highlight of the home. An expansive covered stamped-concrete porch stretches across the back and offers three separate seating areas, ceiling fans, a hot tub and an outdoor kitchen with grill and sink, all overlooking the pool and nicely landscaped backyard. Beyond the pool is a surprisingly generous lawn bordered by mature landscaping, providing plenty of additional outdoor space. Just steps from the pool, the separate cabana features its own living room, kitchenette and full bath, offering a comfortable retreat for family or overnight guests as well as additional space for entertaining. Together, the covered porch, pool, cabana and generous lawn create an inviting outdoor setting designed to be enjoyed throughout the year.
