The family began watching the
progress of this 3.6(X)-square-foot
house last December and moved in
around Faster, actually two weeks
before it was promised. "We
checked the building out every af
ternoon from our first home, three
houses up the street." Mary Mack
said.
They had come to Ocean Isle
from Augusta three years ago when
! the firm Holcomh work*. -J for went
out of business. "We came here,
where I'd visited since the 60s. just
to make a decision about our fu
ture." she explained. "Then we got
sand in our shoes and stayed. Now.
I don't ever want to leave."
The new house is a big part of
what she loves and wants to keep
forever. It does reflect the Hol
combs in its open, welcoming look,
especially the big deck that stretches
along the entire back wall, outfitted
with comfortable rockers, tables and
green plants. An outdoor shower is
a boon to guests and to the hosts,
keeping sand where it belongs.
The living room and its adjacent
"barroom" continue the sense of
hospitality. Brightening stark white
I'-Jview from the decks! With 4 BR, 5
r"i baths. Facing the Intracoastal Water

Mary Mack said, "all the acces

An unusual white-columned
archway opens into the barroom,
where a genuine juke box sits in an
alcove, ready to play more than KM)
beach music hits, with no quarters
required!
The spacious kitchen adjoining
this casual room is done in blue,
and a downstairs bath is unexpect
edly Victorian, with dark green
wallpaper and burgundy trim.
Everywhere are interesting an
gles. but the house is nowhere
overdecorated. These rooms are
meant for living and partying, and
that's exactly what happens. Mary
Mack assured me.
"We have lots of houseguests."
she said, "at least every other week
end. I love to entertain, but we do
'barefoot' entertaining. I've trained
my guests to know I'm not the
maid. They must clean their bath
room before they leave, because
someone else is coming right be
