NEW o NEVER LIVED IN o GATED WATERFRONT COMMUNITY Why settle for someone else's wear, outdated finishes, or a list of projects when you can start fresh? This brand new, Clayton Mariner model, offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,140 heated square feet of thoughtfully designed, move-in-ready living inside the gated waterfront community of River Run Plantation. The open-concept layout makes excellent use of the space, with a large kitchen island, stainless steel appliances, 42-inch cabinetry, deep sink, built-in coffee bar, and plenty of storage. A split-bedroom floor plan provides added privacy, while the primary suite includes a walk-in closet and double vanity. Beyond the finishes, this home was built with efficiency and everyday comfort in mind, including Energy Star construction, upgraded insulation, Low-E Thermopane windows, LED lighting, a smart thermostat, and brick underpinning for added curb appeal and durability. And the value doesn't stop at the front door. River Run Plantation offers a gated entrance, community pool, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, fishing pier, boat ramp, and boat/RV storage--giving you access to the coastal lifestyle without the coastal price tag. Convenient to the Intracoastal Waterway, Sunset Harbor boat ramp, Carolina National Golf Club, Oak Island, Holden Beach, and historic Southport, this is an affordable opportunity to own a fresh, modern home close to everything that makes coastal Brunswick County special.
