225 Mimosa Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a home in Sneads Ferry's premier gated community, Mimosa Bay. Phase One reflects the developer's original vision of preserving the area's natural beauty with mature trees, native landscaping, Intracoastal views, water access, and HOA-owned, permanently protected open spaces. For those valuing tranquility and privacy, this section is especially unique in that several adjoining lots have been combined to create larger homesites with generous spacing between properties. This 4-bedroom, 2,900 sq. ft. carpet-free home features a desirable first-floor primary bedroom and bath with jetted tub. Custom French doors and a coated patio leading to the backyard complete the suite. The beautifully landscaped backyard is designed for outdoor living with four patios, including a paver patio with fire pit, a large storage shed, low-maintenance grounds and fencing for exceptional privacy. The kitchen sets this home apart with 20 cabinets and over 20 feet of granite countertops, including a 6 x 3 granite island. Thoughtful touches include wired under-cabinet lighting, dual ovens, butler's pantry and a pantry closet. Distinctive features include architectural archways, a screened porch, and a side-entry garage with a professionally coated floor. Updated HVAC systems add to the home's appeal. The 13 x 22 floored, walk-in attic offers excellent storage and potential for future living space. A short walk to the Mimosa Bay dock and boat ramp offers direct Intracoastal Waterway access via Mill Creek. Less than a mile away, the recreation center features a pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, basketball, playground, clubhouse, and boat storage. Just 4 miles from North Topsail Beach (Access #33), 2 miles from North Shore Golf Club, and minutes from waterfront dining and shopping, this home perfectly blends coastal charm, exceptional amenities, and everyday convenience.
