home of distinction

Blue Bahia granite countertops in the kitchen are polished to a high luster,
but where they reappear in the outdoor kitchen the same stone is honed to
weather the pervasive salt air. Here, hickory smoke flavors seafood and land
food prepped al fresco and cooked on one of two outdoor grills. One is a
Viking stainless steel egg.
A primary design element, Harris says, was the owners’ wish for a place for
each of their children to stay when they come to visit on Bald Head.
“All of these rooms needed to be the same,” he explains. Each wing includes
an upper level master suite with shared baths, bunkrooms and walk-in closets.
As time goes on and the family’s needs change, the bunkrooms could be
repurposed as a nursery or a study.
“Anytime you build a house and you think about what your needs are right
then, two years or five years or ten years is an eye blink in the life of the house.
You want to have the home set up so you have these spaces that can be redone
and reimagined,” he says.
