About this home
Distinctive brick architecture and graceful arched entryways establish the character of 2761 Cedar Crest Drive, where professionally landscaped grounds complement a predominantly main-level design distinguished by substantial millwork, high ceilings, thoughtfully defined spaces and a natural connection between indoors and out. Set within St. James Plantation in Southport, NC, the home brings together many of the features sought in coastal North Carolina living without sacrificing warmth or individuality.
Hardwood floors move easily from room to room beneath coffered and tray ceilings, while arched openings create definition without interrupting the home's natural flow. French doors introduce a dedicated home office with built-ins and plantation shutters. The formal dining room and breakfast area spaces remain connected while retaining a distinct sense of purpose. The living room floor-to-ceiling marbled tile holds the gas fireplace where built-ins anchor the room. Abundant glass draws the outdoor landscape into the living room and carries the eye toward the screened porch and backyard beyond.
At the center of it all, the kitchen offers generous cabinetry with pull-out drawers, counter space, pantry, gas cooking and bar seating next to the breakfast room. Just beyond, a dedicated entertaining area/den adds beverage refrigeration, wine storage and additional counter space, creating a natural transition between the kitchen and adjoining living areas. The french doors in the den lead to the Carolina room for your quiet living or added entertainment space (which also has stairs out to the back deck).
The primary suite continues the home's attention to detail with a bay-window sitting area, tray ceiling and substantial millwork. The bath combines a jetted soaking tub and generous vanity storage with a separate tiled walk-in shower featuring built-in seating and multiple shower fixtures. The two additional bedrooms and laundry complete the predominantly main-level layout.
Upstairs, a finished flex room (frog) with full bath and closet extends the floor plan while preserving the convenience of everyday living on the first floor. The room opens directly to a large, floored storage attic, providing substantial, accessible, insulated storage without surrendering finished living space.
The outdoor living spaces extend naturally from the home, with composite decking offering distinct areas for dining and conversation. The screened porch creates a comfortable transition between indoors and the professionally landscaped backyard. Mature landscaping surrounds the fenced rear yard with gates positioned on both sides of the home. A dedicated propane line serves the grilling area.
Practical improvements are equally considered. A whole-house water filtration system and two Rinnai tankless water heaters complement a large garage with recently painted interior, a new utility sink and new floor coating. A retractable screen at the front entry adds another thoughtful detail.
Beyond the property, St. James Plantation offers a gated coastal setting in Southport, NC with parks, walking trails and biking opportunities, marina and Intracoastal Waterway access, along with the St. James Beach Club on Oak Island. Golf, restaurants/bars, gym/workout facility and additional recreational amenities are available through optional club memberships.
From the home's predominantly main-level living and dedicated home office to its screened porch, fenced backyard, exceptional storage and carefully considered entertaining spaces, 2761 Cedar Crest Drive brings together: architectural character and everyday function located on a popular block (hosting events), all in one distinctly St. James Plantation setting....
