If you've been waiting for space, privacy, and your own private pool without giving up convenience, this is where it all comes together. Set on an oversized 0.8-acre homesite in Briarwood Estates, this custom home offers something that is increasingly hard to find: no HOA, no flood zone, and the freedom to truly enjoy your property. Inside, over 3,100 square feet unfolds with a layout designed to live well. A split floor plan provides separation and privacy, while each bedroom features its own ensuite bath and walk-in closet, an uncommon level of comfort for both everyday living and guests. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new appliances from 2025 and 2026 and opens naturally into the main living and dining areas, creating an easy, connected flow. Soaring ceilings and natural light enhance the sense of space throughout. The primary suite is positioned as a true retreat, with direct access to the enclosed back porch and a spacious bath complete with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and generous closet. Out back, the setting delivers, with a 14 by 32 in-ground pool surrounded by nearly an acre of usable space, offering room to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the privacy that is becoming harder to find. Recent updates, including a new roof and HVAC system from 2025, refinished wood flooring, fresh interior paint, and a fully encapsulated crawlspace, offer the kind of peace of mind that lets you simply move in and enjoy. And when you do leave, everything is within reach, with shopping, dining, and daily conveniences just minutes away, and Ocean Isle Beach only 10 minutes from your driveway. Space, privacy, pool, and coastal access without compromise.
