Located at the peaceful cul-de-sac of Racerunner Court, The Bald Spot sits just moments from the marina and less than half a mile from South Beach. Step onto the inviting rocking-chair front porch and enter a bright, welcoming entry. The main floor features two versatile bedrooms and a full bath, ideal for guests or setting up a home office. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, another full bath, and a dedicated laundry area, while the top-floor king suite features vaulted ceilings, a comfortable reading nook, and a private workspace.
The heart of the home is the great room, where soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace create a striking space for entertaining. A screened porch offers relaxing vistas of the live oak canopy, and the adjacent dining area is surrounded by windows, connecting seamlessly to the kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a roomy pantry, and a striking greenhouse window.
Appreciate the outdoors with multiple covered porches, a flat cul-de-sac ideal for bicycle rides, and a exhilarating outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the close by beach. The 0.26-acre lot is low-maintenance yet surrounded by a lush maritime forest.
Getting around the island is a breeze with a 4-seater and 6-seater golf cart, plus four beach cruiser bicycles supplied with your stay. Guests can also inquire about an optional Bald Head Island Club Lifestyle Membership for access to golf, tennis, swimming pools, and dining. Note that the Bald Head Island Club golf course will be closed in 2027 for a major remodel.
Feel refined island living—The Bald Spot is ready to welcome you for your next visit. Schedule your stay and see why homes in this sought-after enclave are rarely available for long!
