What does it feel like to come home to nearly an acre, a long private driveway, and a home set back beautifully from the road? Quiet. Spacious. Intentional. Freshly painted, professionally cleaned, and recently pressure washed, the home is truly move-in ready. The open main-level floor plan flows effortlessly to the backyard -- where indoor living meets outdoor paradise. The kitchen features abundant cabinetry and counter space, a center island with a drop-in gas range, and a wall oven -- perfect for everyday living and entertaining. With 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, plus flexibility throughout, there's room for everyone. The large main-level bonus room with a walk-in closet can serve as a 4th bedroom, office, or den. Upstairs offers a huge living room and a spacious FROG -- ideal for guests, recreation, or multi-use space. Step outside to a covered porch with a hot tub overlooking the professionally landscaped yard, inground pool, and serene water views. Pavered spaces, a fire pit area, and direct access to your pier, dock, and boat lift complete the setting. This is deep water, so you can hop in your boat or kayak and enjoy the surrounding beauty anytime. The primary suite even opens to the back deck and hot tub -- creating a seamless connection to the water. A 2-car garage, long driveway, and thoughtful layout add to the appeal. And with the beaches of Oak Island and downtown Southport just minutes away, you truly have the best of coastal living close by. Peace. Privacy. Waterfront living. This is the one.
