Located inside the gated waterfront community of River Run Plantation, this brand-new Clayton Mariner offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,140 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space that's completely move-in ready. The open-concept floor plan creates a natural gathering space, while the spacious kitchen features a large island, stainless steel appliances, 42-inch cabinetry, a built-in coffee bar, and plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. The split-bedroom design provides privacy for the primary suite, complete with a walk-in closet and double vanity. Beyond its modern finishes, this home was thoughtfully designed for lasting comfort and energy efficiency, featuring Energy Star® construction, upgraded insulation, Low-E Thermopane windows, LED lighting, a smart thermostat, and other energy-saving features that help maximize year-round comfort while keeping utility costs in check. Brick underpinning adds both durability and enhanced curb appeal. A one-year home warranty provides added peace of mind. River Run Plantation is more than just a neighborhood--it's a community built around the coastal lifestyle. Residents enjoy a gated entrance, community pool, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, boat ramp, fishing pier, boat and RV storage, and direct access to the Lockwood Folly River. Located just minutes from the Sunset Harbor boat ramp, the Intracoastal Waterway, Carolina National Golf Club, Oak Island, Holden Beach, and historic Southport, you'll spend less time driving and more time enjoying everything Brunswick County has to offer. Finding a brand-new, energy-efficient home with this combination of amenities, location, and value is becoming increasingly rare. If you've been waiting for an affordable way to enjoy coastal living without compromising on quality, 3411 Marlin Drive is ready to welcome you home.
