This beautifully maintained, like-new home offers an open concept design and exceptional attention to detail throughout. High-end finishes include luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, elegant crown molding, and multiple illuminated tray ceilings. A whole-home 4-zone Bluetooth-controlled stereo system adds modern convenience and ambiance. The spacious great room welcomes you just off the formal foyer and features a cozy gas fireplace, built-in cabinetry and shelving, and a stunning coffered ceiling. Oversized 4 panel sliding glass doors provide views of the screened porch, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The gourmet kitchen is designed for both function and style with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, a large center island, pantry, and stainless-steel KitchenAid appliances. The luxury primary suite offers a private retreat with a large walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a spacious walk-in shower, and a private water closet. A versatile third bedroom with French doors can easily serve as a home office and includes a built-in Murphy bed for added flexibility. The second bathroom features a deep soaking tub with tile surround. The extended garage provides additional space thanks to a 2-foot extension and includes a premium epoxy-coated floor and built-in shelving for excellent storage. Residents enjoy outstanding community amenities, including a large clubhouse, Olympic-sized swimming pool, and a fully equipped fitness center. The HOA also provides complete lawn maintenance--including mowing, trimming, and pine straw--allowing for truly low-maintenance living. Ideally located with easy access to the beaches of Oak Island and the charming coastal town of Southport, this home offers the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience. The Oak Island address also gives property owners the option to purchase resident parking passes for the island, making beach visits even easier. This meticulously cared-for home blends comfort, quality, and thoughtful upgrades--making it truly move-in ready. The smart design of this home feels and lives much larger than the square footage indicates, giving the owners the benefit of truly one level living, and saving money on heating & cooling bills. You really need to tour this home and neighborhood to fully appreciate how it stands above the competition. You will quickly experience the difference between a tract home vs this semi-custom, quality-built home in a thoughtfully designed neighborhood with outstanding amenities. Another not so obvious benefit, this home is not located in an AE flood zone, saving you the cost of flood insurance and giving you peace of mind.
