''The Palm Tree House'' is an iconic oceanfront estate on Ocean Isle Beach, set on a rare 75-foot-wide lot and surrounded by over 80 lush palms. Thoughtfully renovated, this property pairs enduring architecture with refined modern updates, preserving its original character while elevating it for contemporary living. Wrapped in timeless cedar shake siding and crowned with a cedar shake roof, the exterior blends classic seaside architecture with bold statement design. Over 4,000 square feet of carefully curated living space feature vaulted ceilings, luxury hardwood flooring and imported marble from Japan. Several top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances anchor not one, but two full chef's kitchens- ideal for entertaining on any scale. Walls of glass, layered levels, and thoughtfully designed architectural transitions create a home that unfolds as you move through it- each space revealing new character, depth, and perspective. This is not just a house you tour; it's one you experience. The main level features a spacious living area with sweeping ocean views, the large dining area connects to a chef's kitchen with a large island. Two well- appointed bedrooms connect to the main level. The upper level is dedicated to the primary suite with elevator access, a large walk-in closet, double-sided fireplace, dual vanity and spa-inspired shower and soaking tub with views of the Atlantic. On the ground level, a bedroom and bath are complemented by an additional chef's kitchen, creating a versatile space ideal for guests and extended family. Outdoor living rivals a five-star retreat, highlighted by a large infinity-edge pool with built-in hot tub, built-in grilling station with Wolf grill, tiki bar and multiple resort-style gathering areas. A private walkway leads directly to the beach and includes a deck atop the dune, perfect for taking in sweeping ocean views. This is more than an oceanfront home - it's a landmark property. Distinctive, rare and amenity rich.
