Property Description

Some homes are built. This one was envisioned. Designed from the ground up as a coastal landmark and named before a single shingle was laid, The Crow's Nest Cottage rose along the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway not as a house to live in, but as a life to step into. Recognized by Ideal Living Magazine as their 2017 Home of the Year, it is the only home in this community that carries that distinction. It's also the ONLY available home directly on the ICW in the neighborhood.If you have spent years building toward something and now find yourself ready to live in a home that reflects all of it, you have arrived at the right address. You have not settled. You have not compromised. You have simply stopped looking, because the home you described to yourself exists and it is here.You pass through the gated entrance of Summerhouse on Everett Bay and something shifts. The pace slows. By the time you pull onto the widened driveway and take in the silhouette against the Carolina sky, you already know this is not a showing. It is a homecoming. The main living level holds an open kitchen, dining, and living space anchored by a built-in fireplace, intimate by design, intentionally warm, and framed by views that pull your eye straight to the water. A main-floor guest suite with private bath means the people you love never feel like guests. Fresh paint throughout, top to bottom, inside and out. This home is not waiting to be made ready. It is ready.The kitchen was designed for someone who cooks with intention: GE Cafe double oven, pot filler, second island prep sink, soft-close cabinetry throughout. The primary suite was designed for someone who has earned unhurried mornings: tray ceilings with recessed lighting, walk-in tile shower with floor-to-ceiling tile, body jets and rain head, soaking tub, private water closet, and a large walk-in closet.Three full levels plus a fourth-level crow's nest with mini fridge. Elevator serviced April 2026. Climb to the widow's walk and the Intracoastal opens beneath you. The view that stops conversation, makes people put their phone down, and that you will never stop noticing no matter how long you live here. That is the point.Constructed to VE flood zone standards, the most stringent coastal classification available. Roof rejuvenated 2025 with new metal boots, sealed ridges, and a transferrable five-year roof seal guarantee; displaced shingles repaired at no cost.
