Classic Cape Cod charm meets thoughtful modern updates on a beautifully landscaped half-acre cul-de-sac lot surrounded by mature trees. Offering a rare combination of privacy, character, and usable outdoor space, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home stands apart from today's newer construction options. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout, recessed lighting across the main level, smooth ceilings, neutral interior paint, upgraded interior and entry doors and remodeled kitchen and baths. The flexible floor plan includes a main-level bedroom with en-suite bath, ideal for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living. The updated kitchen offers abundant cabinet and counter space, making meal prep and entertaining easy, while the partially open layout allows for seamless connection to adjoining living and dining areas. Whether preparing everyday meals or hosting gatherings, the kitchen serves as the heart of the home. Major system improvements include newer HVAC systems (2019 /2024), newer roof, windows, and hot water heater. Additional upgrades include encapsulated crawl space, exterior trim paint, and partial driveway replacement with new concrete. Outdoor living is equally impressive with Trex- style decking, professionally landscaped grounds, irrigation system, newer sodded lawn, custom stone walkways in front and back, fenced backyard, and mature shade trees creating a peaceful and secluded setting. Enjoy morning coffee beneath the towering trees, outdoor dining with family and friends, gardening, play space, or simply relaxing in the privacy of your own backyard retreat. The detached 2-car garage offers excellent flexibility for workshop, hobby, storage, or studio use and includes a 30-amp RV hookup. Extended driveway provides ample parking for vehicles, guests, boats, or recreational equipment. This home has also benefited from architectural and engineering improvements and repairs. In preparation for listing this property the owners engaged both a licensed structural engineer and a certified home inspector to evaluate the home from the crawlspace to the roof and provide recommendations. Supporting engineering reports and repair documentation are available for buyer review. No HOA! Public pool and tennis courts are available in the community for a fee. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, entertainment, Historic Downtown Wilmington, the Cape Fear River, and area beaches.
