The desire for sameness and equanimity inside gives way to a balance
of indoor and outdoor spaces — both private and public — and sym-metry
of design that never fails to stop golf cart traffic, brazen red fox
making their daily rounds or deer in their tracks that frequent the garden
to feast on the roses.
The two by fours that frame this house —and
those of the 1,120 homes built on Bald Head
Island — arrived there by the barge, The
Brandon Randall. Loaded at Deep Point Marina
in Southport and pushed across the Cape Fear
River by the tug, The Capt. Alex, the building
materials are delivered by both vessels,
named after the developer’s sons,
to this East Beach address by truck.
Retracing the route of the two by fours
ferried across the river, the island’s residents
preferred mode of transportation once on
land is by the ubiquitous golf cart.
