Property Description
Mature landscaping, a natural buffer
alongside the property, and nearly half an acre of land create a setting that feels both private and spacious while remaining conveniently located near Topsail Island beaches, Camp Lejeune, Stone Bay, marinas, dining, and shopping.
A blend of stacked stone, horizontal vinyl siding, cedar shake-style accents, raised-panel shutters, and architectural rooflines creates a warm and inviting first impression. The covered rocking chair front porch serves as a true extension of the home, highlighted by substantial columns, stone accents, and ample space to enjoy morning coffee or unwind in the evening. A glass-paneled front door with sidelights welcomes natural light into the foyer, where buyers are immediately greeted by rich finishes and thoughtful craftsmanship throughout.
Inside, 9-foot ceilings, extensive crown molding, oversized baseboards, decorative wall moldings, and beautiful 7.5-inch luxury vinyl plank flooring establish an elevated yet comfortable atmosphere. Plantation shutters throughout much of the main level add timeless character, while abundant natural light highlights the home's architectural details and inviting design. Anchoring the living space is a granite-surround gas fireplace, creating a natural focal point for the family room and a gathering place that flows effortlessly into the kitchen and dining areas.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen connects seamlessly to the family room, breakfast area, and formal dining room. Rich cabinetry is complemented by granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a beautifully contrasting accent island that adds visual interest and style. A spacious two-tier breakfast bar with custom shiplap detailing provides additional seating while maintaining open sightlines throughout the main living areas. Abundant cabinet storage, generous prep space, and thoughtful design make this kitchen as functional as it is attractive.
Just beyond, the breakfast area overlooks the backyard and offers direct access to the rear patio, while the formal dining room provides an elegant setting for gatherings of any size. A coffered ceiling immediately draws the eye upward, while chair rail molding, decorative wall paneling, crown molding, plantation shutters, and large front-facing windows showcase the craftsmanship carried throughout the home.
Privately situated on the main level, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat from the rest of the home. A dramatic double tray ceiling, crown molding, cottage-style paneled doors, and abundant natural light create a welcoming atmosphere, while the spacious layout easily accommodates oversized furnishings with room remaining for a sitting area or reading nook. The ensuite bath features dual elevated vanities with cultured marble countertops, custom shiplap accents, tile flooring, a soaking tub with tile surround, a walk-in shower with glass enclosure and tile detailing, a private water closet, linen storage, and a glass block window that fills the space with natural light while maintaining privacy.
Additional first-floor amenities include a dedicated office or guest accommodations tucked behind frosted glass French doors, a convenient powder room, a well-appointed laundry room with additional cabinetry, and direct access to the home's exceptional outdoor living spaces.
The backyard serves as a true extension of the home, offering a fully fenced setting designed to maximize both comfort and outdoor enjoyment. A covered rear patio with ceiling fan provides a shaded retreat, while an extended paver patio creates additional space for grilling, dining, and gathering with friends and family. A dedicated fire pit area offers the perfect setting for cool Carolina evenings, and the outdoor shower provides added convenience after beach days or outdoor activities. Completing the backyard is a detached storage building with power, offering exceptional flexibility for hobbies, workshop space, storage, or future creative use.
A staircase featuring a stained oak handrail and wrought iron balusters leads to the second level, where an impressive collection of bedrooms, flex spaces, and storage areas provide exceptional versatility for today's lifestyle. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious secondary bedrooms, a dedicated home office, and an oversized bonus room that provides endless flexibility as a playroom, media room, homeschool space, fitness area, game room, or second living room. A centrally located full bath, multiple walk-in closets, and generous storage throughout further enhance the functionality of the upper level.
With exceptional curb appeal, a highly functional floor plan, extensive custom finishes, abundant indoor and outdoor living space, and one of the more private homesites in the neighborhood, this residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of coastal Carolina living without compromise.
