Nestled within the award-winning, community of East & Mason-recipient of Best in American Living, Parade of Homes, and National Design Awards--this BrightSuite Smart Home is just 15 minutes from both Wrightsville Beach and Historic Downtown Wilmington and walkable to top-ranked Masonboro Elementary and other local favorites such as Veggie Wagon, Port City Java and Whiskey Trail at the Creek via a 1.4 mile walking and biking path. With its relaxed coastal vibe and unbeatable central location, it's easy to see why the Masonboro area is so highly sought after. The ground floor welcomes you in with an open-concept space that is light, bright and very welcoming. The star of the first floor is the gourmet kitchen which includes a gas range, a matching appliance suite, walk-in pantry and elevated by the addition of Designer Arhaus lighting. This level is completed with a huge living room centered around a fireplace, a large dining area, versatile flex room perfect for an office, formal dining or creative space and a stylish powder room, and convenient drop-station hallway which welcomes you in from your alley fed garage complete with an EV charging station. Upstairs, natural light fills an additional flex space alongside two guest bedrooms and a laundry room with custom cabinetry and added sink. The primary suite offers a spacious bedroom, spa-inspired ensuite with an extended shower, and an enviable walk-in closet. Window treatments are already installed, a full matching appliance suite is included, fixtures have been upgraded, the patio has been both screened-in and extended, and the backyard is fully fenced--saving time, effort, and out-of-pocket expenses after closing. Rather than juggling projects or coordinating vendors, you can focus on beach days, boating and evenings on the patio.
