What Seawatch Means To Me

Hi again,
In trying to think of ways to get others to interact on this blog, I'd like for each of you who actually read this to respond to this question: My favorite thing about Seawatch is...: or I like Seawatch because...:
For me, my favorite thing about Seawatch is the people. Without a doubt, our neighbors are what makes this such a great neighborhood. Whether it is our full-time neighbors, summertime neighbors or weekend neighbors, there is nothing like them. Even if Seawatch wasn't located on a gorgeous stretch of beach, with neighbors like we have, even the desert would be wonderful.
Okay, how about it guys; What do you like best about Seawatch???

Seawatch - Real Estate

Since I am a REALTOR, I guess that the main purpose of this blog is to showcase our neighborhood and the homes that I have for sale here. Over the four (4) years that we have lived in Seawatch, I have bought three properties and sold personal property once. As a real estate agent, I have listed and/or sold numerous Seawatch properties.
Currently I have four (4) homes and two (2) lots for sale in our neighborhood. Prices for homes range from $1.25 million for a second row home to $625,000 for the pretty green home on the backside of Seawatch. My listed lots are $499,000 and $599,000 with one being on Seahorse and the other on the corner of Seawatch and Seahorse.
To view all of my listings as well as all listings in the New Hanover county area (that are listed in the Multiple Listing Service, MLS), please visit my website at http://www.joycebarnwell.com/.
Here are pictures and a brief description of the properties I have listed:
1. 102 Seawatch Way - 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths - 3983 Sq. Ft.: Priced at $1,250,000


2. 110 Seawatch Way - 5 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths - 2678 Sq. Ft.: Priced at $998,500

I should have a fifth home listed shortly that will be in the $700,000 to $750,000 range. Thanks for visiting my blog and I look forward to any and all comments.
Sincerely,
Joyce

Home Owner Association Annual Meeting

The annual Seawatch HOA will be held this Saturday, October 25th. Up until today, (Friday), it was to be held at the pool and was to be immediately followed by the Octoberfest Feast. With the current weather forecast, we are looking for other options for the meeting, and are considering changing the cookout to Sunday.

Kris Bell, HOA Secretary will be emailing out the changes as soon as plans are finalized.

Make it a great day!

Welcome To Seawatch Happenings

Hello, My name is Joyce Barnwell and this is my first attempt at setting up and working with a blog. In fact, until just a couple of days ago I didn't even know what a blog was. (Today, I'm not sure, but I think I do.)

The way it was explained to me is that a blog site is just a site that people can visit and write comments about what's relevant to the blog title. As the "owner" of the blog, it is my job to write a weekly article or three that will be interesting to people who read the blog and that encourages them to make comments on the blog.

I guess a good way to start is to describe our neighborhood. Seawatch consists of approximately 120 homes or lots. We have a pool, tennis court, private beach walkover with rest room facilities and our own private tiki bar.

The Tiki Bar is the local meeting place for neighbors to congregate on Friday afternoons. Neighbors usually bring their beverage of choice and maybe a snack or two to be shared. This informal gathering starts between 4:00 and 5:00, with some of us working folks not getting there until about 6:00. After an hour or two of visiting, plans are usually made as to what we are going to do for dinner. Those wanting to go out usually pick a resturant and a time. Those with previous plans head back home and the remaining neighbors decide the what, where and when of dinner.
Until next time.
