The nuts and bolts
3 bedrooms
2.5 bathrooms
1,400 square feet
0.6 acre
House proud
Built in 2015, this home by Mecox Bay stands out for its relative isolation along Flying Point Road, a well-known route that has the feeling of a causeway for the way it hugs the shore of the bay. Not only is it one of a few houses in the green along that stretch, built up in elevation to meet FEMA flood regulations, it is visible from afar.
“It’s the first house you see on the way to the beach, on stilts, looking up like a house in the Carolinas,” said Holly Hodder, the Sotheby’s International Realty agent representing the listing along with Ritchey Howe. “It’s kind of like an icon in making.”
What’s the plan?
The 1,400 square feet of living space is split evenly on the first and second floors of the home. The first floor is devoted to the kitchen, dining and living areas in an open layout, with water views all around and access to a 21 x 11 deck and an outdoor shower. On the second floor, two bedrooms of near equal size (about 100 square feet) share a full bathroom accessed in the hall; one bedroom has a balcony. The 190-square-foot primary bedroom is ensuite with its own 8 x 5 balcony overlooking the water. The ceiling height for all rooms on this level is 11 and a half feet.
What’s cooking?
The 165-square-foot kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances and polished stone counters. “Every element was installed with the idea of being modern from the beginning,” says Hodder.
What else?
The home has 390 feet of private waterfront on the bay and the current owners, who built the house, are renovating the bulkhead.
Amenities and more

- A deck and two balconies

One cool thing

Agent’s callout
“For me, this house is all about the vibe, to have water views from every single room. Even $50M estates don’t have that,” says Hodder. “It’s the perfect little beach house.”
