Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

Embracing Fall at Summerhouse on Everett Bay

Nestled in southeastern North Carolina, Summerhouse on Everett Bay is an idyllic place that brings the warmth of each season to life. With fall here, the community’s charm takes on a whole new glow. Let’s dive into why Summerhouse is so inviting during this season and the exciting progress Hagood Homes is making with its beautiful properties.

Designed for Every Season, Especially Fall

While Summerhouse shines all year, autumn’s mild temperatures make it ideal for soaking up all this community offers. Start your morning with a peaceful walk on lakeside trails, watching as fall colors reflect off the private lakes. Head to the grand clubhouse for a cozy coffee in a space that feels like an extension of home. The tennis and pickleball courts remain open for friendly matches, while the pool deck provides a sunny retreat with slightly cooler breezes.

The community’s water access is perfect for a serene fall paddle or kayak session on one of six private lakes, or even a scenic cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway, with fewer boats and calm waters. Fall at Summerhouse truly blends the best of both land and sea.

Autumn Adventures Just Minutes Away

Living at Summerhouse puts you in proximity to beautiful Topsail Island, where the quiet beaches of fall are ideal for unwinding or beachcombing:

  • North Topsail Beach – Known for its family-friendly atmosphere, fall here offers a tranquil seaside experience with stunning sunsets.
  • Surf City – Enjoy oceanfront dining with seasonal menus and a variety of unique shops, perfect for fall shopping.
  • Topsail Beach – Explore this quaint town for its autumn festivals, fishing from the Jolly Roger Pier, and browsing local shops.

Local events like the Topsail Sounds concert series, the Surf City Fall Festival, and fall artisan markets add to the seasonal charm.

As Elegant as the Name: We’re Featuring the Port Royal Sound

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

With four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and 5,802 total square feet, the Port Royal Sound is one of the most spacious plans we offer. Its size is only outdone by its elegance. Let’s take a look!

Named for a majestic fjord on the Carolina coast, the Port Royal Sound impresses with a modern take on traditional coach house design. On the ground floor, twin carriage-style doors lead to an oversized garage, while two floors of spectacular living spaces lie above. Concerns over climbing stairs are alleviated with a three-level elevator just off the garage!

Grandeur Without Pretense

While elegance permeates every corner of the home, the Port Royal Sound’s design never veers into opulence or ostentation, always firmly grounded in time-honored low-country style. The rich hardwood floors. The high-end surfaces of the chef’s kitchen and its oversized island. The natural stone of the grand room’s magnificent fireplace and the cozy study you’ll use as a distinctive home office. There’s elegance just about everywhere you look.

Three Levels of Outdoor Enjoyment

At the home’s front, a wide staircase rises to a covered entry porch that epitomizes Carolina living. It’s a perfect place to welcome visitors with traditional rockers and to take in the evening air. To the home’s rear, a massive covered patio offers a wealth of outdoor living space on the ground floor. An outdoor pool table? Workout equipment? You’ve got the space for it! Plus, there’s a handy outdoor shower just around the corner.

On the second story, there’s even more space to enjoy the enviable Coastal Carolina weather. Gather before a crackling fireplace in the second floor’s outdoor living room. Share meals at the adjacent dining area while enjoying fresh air and scenic views. You’ll find amazing views on the third floor’s covered porch, with plenty of room for outdoor seating.

Bedroom Suites with Exquisite Design

Each of the Port Royal Sound’s bedrooms has a connected en suite. The largest, with a long dual vanity and cavernous zero-entry shower, belongs to the primary suite. Awash in natural light from wide bay windows, this owner’s suite exudes elegance, with a seating area and a large walk-in closet. On the floor above, one spacious bedroom has its own full bath, while two more bedrooms share a large Jack-and-Jill en suite. The bedrooms’ tall windows and discreet pocket doors continue the graceful theme.

A Hagood Home Designed for You

What elegant touches might you add? We make it simple with Hagood’s custom design service. A winding staircase? Specialty tiles? A custom pool? Perhaps you’d like to convert an outdoor space into a four-season room. If you have an idea for your dream home, our design team can help make it a reality.

Our Pamlico Sound Shines as Hagood’s Newest Compass Pointe Model Home

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

Compass Pointe has long enjoyed an enviable location in the Coastal Carolinas, close to the port city of Wilmington and the area’s most popular beaches.

The Pamlico Sound

Click Here to Tour

The Pamlico Sound‘s low country aesthetics begin with a courtyard design and exquisite trellis detail atop a two-car garage, continuing with custom millwork on the posts of a wide front porch with a crushed-shell floor and traditional carriage lights.

A sense of grandeur starts with an eight-foot-tall entry door flanked by dual-panel sidelights. Step inside a two-story foyer filled with natural light from a bank of windows high above.

 

Open Space for Spreading Out

Your eyes rise to the great room’s vaulted ceiling, dropping to a natural stone fireplace that centers the open-plan gathering area. Equally impressive, the ceiling beams of the integrated chef’s kitchen preside over a massive center island with a built-in sink. The adjacent dining area picks up the lofty style with a cathedral ceiling, its exposed beams evoking modern country design.

Tucked away on the opposite side of the kitchen, a cozy pocket office is an ideal place to get work done.

With a split-bedroom design, the primary suite is positioned perfectly on the opposite side of the home from the two other ground-floor bedrooms. This suite inspires with a tray ceiling, wide bay windows, and the spacious en suite of your dreams. Plus, plenty of closet space!

Unwind Inside and Out

Ready to enjoy your media room? While you might use the space as a fourth bedroom, most folks prefer this first-floor room as a dedicated home theater. The wall of windows looking onto greenery and the high ceilings make it an amazing chill-out spot. You’ll find those same high ceilings on the adjoining screened porch tailor-made for the mild Carolina weather and plenty of room for furniture.

A Haven Awaits Above

With a large lounge, a sizable bedroom, and a full bath, the second story serves as a separate apartment. Perfect for guests! Open a door and step into a massive walk-in storage space. Like the rest of the home, spray foam insulation keeps this storage area cool, ensuring moderate indoor temperatures no matter how high the temperature soars outside.

The Estate Collection

Part of Hagood’s Estate Collection, this stunning Pamlico Sound resides in Compass Pointe’s exclusive Timber Ridge Estates section. Here, homes enjoy elevated views – rare in the coastal plains – of the community’s magnificent golf course.

The bespoke home collection, which also includes the Albemarle Sound I and Albemarle Sound II plans, takes a robust approach to Hagood’s signature coastal Carolina style. Tabby foundations. Exterior brick steps. James Hardie porch ceilings. California Closets. You’ll find these standout features and much more in the Estate Collection!

While words and images can give you a sense of the Pamlico Sound, there’s nothing like an in-person tour. To see this amazing home for yourself, contact a member of the Hagood team here.

Behind the Scenes of the Back Door Kitchen Tour

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

Nestled in the heart of the historic downtown Wilmington are streets lined with homes that tell stories of days gone by. Beautiful Italianate, Victorian, Queen Anne, Georgian, and even mail-order bungalows. Each has an origin story, and many that will be on display as part of the Back Door Kitchen Tour, hosted by Residents of Old Wilmington (ROW), on Saturday, October 12 beginning at 10 a.m.

Unlike other historic home tours in Downtown Wilmington, this one invites visitors to come in “through the back door. “The tour will feature nine homes in the historic district, including the Smith-Sternberger House at 624 Dock Street. The Neoclassical Revival stands as a masterpiece of restoration, merging 19th-century charm with modern-day comfort. Visitors will be treated to a rare glimpse into the home that has been meticulously crafted to honor its 1891 origins. Homeowner Josh Adams invited us in for a sneak peek.

The Smith-Sternberger House

The restoration journey began with the exterior, where every detail was carefully considered. The front porch, a defining feature of the home, has been restored, with its floor removed and bracing underneath replaced in 2022. A column that had experienced foundation issues was rebuilt, and the porch now proudly supports a swing salvaged from Adams’ grandparents’ home—a sentimental touch that adds to the home’s historic narrative.

In keeping with the historical charm, seven gas lanterns were installed in 2023, illuminating the home’s three entrances. The exterior transformation also extended to the brick walkway, which was replaced in 2021, leading to a completely overhauled backyard. This outdoor oasis now features a patio with an outdoor TV, firepit, hot tub, hammock, dog run, and dining area, making it an ideal space for relaxation and entertainment. The home’s exterior color scheme, with Williamsburg Wythe Blue siding, black window and trim accents, and a “Haint Blue” porch ceiling, captures the essence of Southern charm.

Stepping inside, the home continues to impress with a foyer bathed in natural light, anchored by an elegant staircase that Adams said inspired him to purchase the property in 2019. Above, a chandelier inspired by a Chihuly exhibit at The Biltmore House serves as a whimsical focal point.

The renovation extends to every corner of the interior. The foyer was slightly reduced in size to accommodate a wall oven, microwave, and spice racks in the adjacent kitchen, where the heart of the home beats strongest. This kitchen underwent around 60 design revisions, resulting in a space that is both beautiful and functional. The custom-built island made of Black Walnut, with a leathered granite top, stands as the centerpiece, surrounded by carefully selected cabinetry, a Thermador 6-burner gas range, and a dramatic Cambria quartz backsplash.

From the kitchen, visitors move into the rear foyer, where a black-and-white floor Adams says was inspired by Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines’ renovation of “The Castle” which contrasts beautifully with the crisp white walls, exposed brick, and staircase. The adjacent butler’s pantry features floating Black Walnut shelves, a glass riser, and a hammered copper prep sink, creating a sophisticated space for coffee and cocktails.

Adams calls the transformation of his home a true labor of love, blending historic elegance with modern convenience. The 2024 Back Door Kitchen Tour offers a unique opportunity to experience this remarkable home, where every detail tells a story of dedication, craftsmanship, and an unwavering respect for history.

The Residents of Old Wilmington is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Wilmington’s rich heritage. The roots were largely social in its founding in 1972. With the once-thriving industry in Wilmington waning, ROW was designed to bring residents together. It has grown into an organization that lives its mission of improving the quality of life in the Historic district. And while the tour may reflect the social aspect, funds raised are actually used to support community-focused causes.

For decades, the Residents of Old Wilmington have used proceeds from the tour to support local historic sites and nonprofits. Their contributions have aided the preservation of iconic venues such as the Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens and the Bellamy Mansion Museum. They’ve also extended their support to community-focused organizations like The Salvation Army of Cape Fear, DREAMS of Wilmington, and the Cape Fear Museum of History and Science. They have funded beautification projects throughout downtown Wilmington, from trees to flowers to lighting. And have funded Segways used by the Wilmington Police Department in navigating the downtown streets.

The tour spans the oldest sections of downtown’s first historic district, with homes located between Second and Sixth Streets, just west of Market Street. This event is more than just a celebration of architectural beauty; it’s a community-driven initiative to support Wilmington’s cultural and historical fabric.

By participating in the Back Door Kitchen Tour, attendees aren’t just enjoying a stroll through Wilmington’s architectural history—they’re also contributing to the ongoing efforts to preserve and enhance the community. ROW remains committed to giving back, ensuring that the city’s heritage and culture continue to thrive for future generations.

For a classic boardwalk experience, head south to Carolina Beach and enjoy a laid-back sandy scene at its next-door neighbor, Kure Beach.

Summer in NC has us Dreaming of Summerhouse Living

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

It’s no surprise that this idyllic locale embraces its namesake season. Let’s look at what makes Summerhouse so amazing in the summertime and the beautiful Hagood homes you’ll find there.

Created With Summer in Mind

That’s Summerhouse! While the mild winters bring many to southeastern NC, summer is when residents can really embrace resort-style living to its fullest. Your day may begin with a refreshing plunge in the massive pool, easing into a float down its lazy river. Enjoy lunch inside the grand clubhouse or at a shaded poolside pavilion. Stroll lakeside nature trails and walking paths under a glorious summer sky. As the sun sets, get in a game of tennis on illuminated courts.

Ready to get out on the water? You can kayak or paddleboard on one of six private lakes. As nothing says summer fun like a boating excursion, Summerhouse’s location on the Intracoastal Waterway is ideal. Embark from the community docks and boat your way down King’s Creek to the scenic bays of the Atlantic Ocean.

Your Best Beach Life Awaits!

If you live in Summerhouse, the fantastic seaside spots of Topsail Island are practically in your backyard:

  • North Topsail Beach. Uncrowded and family-friendly, this beach is postcard-perfect. The 12-mile stretch of sand is home to the iconic Seaview Pier, a bike and pedestrian path, and a public park with shade pavilions.
  • Surf City. A variety of oceanfront eateries serve coastal cuisine, while an eclectic range of boutiques offer unique shopping experiences.
  • Topsail Beach. On the island’s southern end, Topsail Beach welcomes you with untouched sands, a quaint town center, and the Jolly Roger fishing pier.

There’s Always Something Happening on Topsail Island

Especially in summer! Bring a lawn chair and settle in for an evening of live music at the Topsail Sounds summer concert series, or enjoy a movie during Surf City Movies in the Park. Every Thursday in the summer, the Topsail Beach Craft Market offers one-of-a-kind handicrafts from dozens of local artisans. How about a ladies’ bingo night? If you like shrimp, you’ll love the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival. The list goes on and on!
