Welcome to 226 Middle Ridge Drive, a home designed for living creatively, gathering intentionally, and enjoying space both inside and out. Tucked on an oversized cul-de-sac lot just shy of an acre, this four bedroom home with a bonus room and three full baths blends thoughtful renovation with timeless character. Natural light fills the open living spaces, highlighting custom details and warm finishes that make the home feel both elevated and inviting. At the heart of the home, the completely renovated kitchen is a true showpiece. Featuring custom cabinetry, stunning countertops, open shelving, statement island seating, and designer touches that create a space as beautiful as it is functional. One of the home's most special features is a dedicated art studio - a flexible creative space perfect for art, work from home, homeschooling, or a stunning dining space. Additional standout spaces include a library style office with custom built-ins and thoughtfully designed bedrooms filled with charm, personality, and artist flare. Outdoor living offers just as much inspiration, with upgraded decking for entertaining, expansive yard space, garden potential, and a beautifully crafted chicken coop ready for your backyard homestead vision. Surrounded by mature trees yet conveniently located near Camp Lejeune, Downtown Swansboro, Emerald Isle beaches, and everyday amenities, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, creativity, and modern comfort.
