Welcome to 520 Bayfield, a charming 5 Bed/3.5 Bath home in the highly sought after Marsh Oaks community! Located in Northern Wilmington, this well-established neighborhood is complete with sidewalk lined streets, amenities that include a club house, pool, playground, tennis courts and a Coastal Southern vibe that welcomes you from the minute you pull up! Upon arriving, you're greeted by a quaint front porch and a cottage-like exterior. Inside, an open foyer, complete with a custom drop zone, makes the perfect entryway leading to a spacious open living area, highlighted by a gas log fireplace flanked by white built ins, with hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas and kitchen. The kitchen and dining area adjoin the living room and feature brand new solid surface countertops, refinished cabinets and stainless appliances, along with a breakfast nook that's perfect for homework, crafting or overflow from the kitchen area. To the left are 3 bedrooms on the first floor (one of which can double as a home office, if needed) and to the right is a private Primary en suite, complete with a garden tub and walk in shower. A laundry area and powder room complete the downstairs leading to the garage, while a staircase guides you up to the FROG/5th Bedroom, with its own private full bath. This diverse floorplan offers the option of multiple flex spaces or bedroom use, whichever suits your needs best, making it a home designed for functionality! Outside, a fully fenced back yard, large screened porch and 2 car side entry garage out back make the perfect area for outdoor entertaining, a play spot for kids or a relaxing outdoor space to grab you favorite book and enjoy all this neighborhood has to offer!
