Offered for sale by its original owner since being built in 2006, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home combines thoughtful updates with comfortable living, giving you peace of mind for years to come. Recent improvements include a brand-new roof (2026), Goodman HVAC system (2020), stainless steel kitchen appliances (2023), luxury vinyl plank flooring and granite countertops in the kitchen (2021), new living room carpet (2024), and additional blown attic insulation (2024). Inside, you'll find a welcoming living room with soaring 10-foot ceilings that create a bright, open atmosphere. The beautifully updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, offering modern finishes, ample cabinetry, and plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are conveniently located down the hallway, while the spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and a private en-suite bathroom. One of the home's most unique features is a hidden bonus room tucked discreetly behind the tall kitchen cabinetry. Complete with its own sink and toilet, this versatile space is currently used as an in-law suite but could easily serve as a home office, hobby room, studio, playroom, or private retreat. Step outside and discover your own backyard oasis. The covered patio is the perfect place to grill, entertain, or simply relax while overlooking the impressive 30-foot by 4.5-foot above-ground pool. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from downtown Wilmington and approximately 35 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, this property offers the best of both worlds: the peace and privacy of country living with easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and the beautiful North Carolina coast.
