Welcome to The Arbors - a true Americana community where kids ride their bikes until the streetlights come on, cul-de-sac cookouts light up the Fourth of July, and every porch is stocked with candy on Halloween. Located in the highly sought-after Topsail school district, this vibrant Surf City neighborhood is filled with families of all ages and a year-round calendar of community events and celebrations. Community amenities include a swimming pool, scenic pond, dock, and creek access, sidewalks, streetlights, and a picnic area. Walkable to Harris Teeter, Surf City Brewing Company, local boutiques, and restaurants, with a home improvement store just minutes away. Positioned conveniently between Wilmington and Jacksonville, and just a short drive to the stunning shores of Topsail Beach -- this is more than a home, it's a lifestyle. Step inside this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home where impressive 10-foot ceilings on the main level create an open, airy feel, complemented by 9-foot ceilings on the second floor. A first-floor bedroom offers flexibility as a guest suite or private office. The living area features large windows with blackout blinds, oversized ceiling fans, and an LP fireplace with custom built-ins -- all working together to keep utility bills impressively low year-round. LVP flooring flows through the main living spaces while plush carpet adds comfort to the bedrooms and second floor. LED lighting and a Nest thermostat add modern efficiency throughout, and a whole-house water filtration and softener system ensures quality water at every tap. The spacious primary suite boasts a tray and coffered ceiling, leading into a beautifully tiled en-suite bath complete with a walk-in shower and garden tub. Beyond the five bedrooms, a bonus room, loft, and Juliet balcony provide endless flexibility for any lifestyle. This home has been meticulously maintained -- including bi-annual HVAC service -- and features a durable shingle roof with rain collars and aluminum gutters on a lot with excellent drainage. The garage includes epoxy floors and a built-in workshop, perfect for the hobbyist or extra storage. Out back, a massive reinforced patio is ideal for entertaining or the foundation for a future structure, all within a fully fenced yard. As the day winds down, gather around the firepit while the sweet scent of honeysuckle drifts through the air and the evening song of the whippoorwills fills the night -- a backyard experience that feels a world away from the everyday. Don't miss your opportunity to become part of this incredible community!
