Why wait to build when you can own a thoughtfully customized home that's already been upgraded from top to bottom? Nestled on a spacious 0.44-acre lot in the quiet Cypress Bay community, this 2024-built home offers the perfect balance of peaceful living and everyday convenience. With less than 25 homes on a low-traffic dead-end street, no active HOA, community walking paths, and a scenic deck overlooking Town Creek, you'll enjoy a relaxed setting just minutes from shopping, dining, Wilmington, and the area's beautiful beaches. Inside, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home has been carefully redesigned to create a more functional and open layout than the builder's original plan. Wide plank oak style laminate flows throughout the home, complemented by a custom stained oak staircase, spacious loft, abundant storage, and generously sized bedrooms. The heart of the home is the beautifully upgraded kitchen featuring quartz countertops throughout, a custom 7-ft island, farmhouse sink, soft-close cabinetry, Bosch appliances, a 6-burner gas range, walk-in pantry, and natural gas service, an upgrade unique in this neighborhood. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, French doors open to an enlarged screened porch overlooking the backyard, while the covered pergola, patio, and established garden create an inviting outdoor retreat. Additional upgrades include a tankless water heater, whole-home water softener, Brita Pro reverse osmosis system, epoxy-coated garage floor with utility sink, and transferable builder and appliance warranties. Offering the quality and upgrades of a custom home without the wait of new construction, this Cypress Bay house is ready to welcome you home.
