overview

VIEWS, PRIVACY, HISTORY! This home has it all. Located on three homesites with views of ​the 12th green on the BHI Golf Course, this classic home has both style and comfort. This is ​one of the first homes built on Bald Head during the Generator Society era giving the new ​owner a piece of Bald Head Island history. This uniquely designed home blends classic ​architecture with modern updates. Renovations over the years include an addition of a ​bedroom, baths, and workshop, Hardi plank siding, new hardwood floors, new furniture, ​and more. This is a single story home with four bedrooms, a bunk room, and 3.5 baths. The ​homes layout where living and sleeping spaces are separated allow private and quiet ​spaces when needed. A lofted and sophisticated library adds to the distinctive charm of ​the vaulted ceiling living room. A sun room with golf course vistas is a great place to enjoy ​a cozy retreat. An indoor grill is connected to the fireplace chimney to allow grilling during ​inclement weather. The new owner will enjoy a large workshop (conditioned space) for ​completing home improvements, or the space could be used as a fishing room for the ​avid angler. The expansive deck overlooking the golf course is a great place to grill out ​while watching the white ibis fly in to roost at the Wildlife Overlook lagoon located ​adjacent to the home. Nestled in the middle of three high homesites with magnificent live ​oaks, this home will provide the new owner with more privacy than almost any other ​home on the island. The pleasant curb appeal of this home is accented by a brick paver ​circular driveway (a great place for kids to ride their riding toys safely) and lush ​landscaping. Enjoy living in harmony with nature while listening to the garden waterfall ​off the back deck. Owned by only one family over the years, this home is full of memories. ​The home is being sold fully furnished with two golf carts. A Full Membership in the BHI ​Club is available for separate purchase.

First and foremost, I am a family man. My wife, Emerson, and two ​boys, David and William, are my biggest blessings. I am a devoted ​husband and father with strong ties to the community. I am actively ​involved with many local charities and non-profits. My interests ​include hunting, sports, and spending time with my family. As a ​graduate of the University of North Carolina, I am a Tarheel.


  • My family built the first home on Bald Head in 1973.


  • Specialized knowledge and expertise of the Bald Head Island ​market comes from the hundreds of transactions I have ​completed over the past 20 years. My extensive experience will ​help you to negotiate the best possible price whether buying or ​selling.


  • I adhere strongly to a set of values that are centered upon always ​doing the right thing and doing it well. I have a steadfast and ​unconflicted regard for my client's well-being and best interests.

Happy Affectionate Family

I have been so pleased with your listing our property, getting it photographed, and on the web site and for advertising it, getting prospective buyers shown the house and getting an offer within a short time, handling the offer and counteroffers, and your help up thru the closing. Your honesty, advice, and help were invaluable. You and Happi made the sale of the house a pleasant experience. Thank you. ~John B
