Description
Nature-Lover’s Retreat in Amenity-Rich St. James Plantation. Welcome to this beautifully maintained, 5-star energy-efficient home, built in 2015 and tucked away on a landscaped .35-acre lot backing to a peaceful stream and wooded preserve. Inside, enjoy a bright, open layout with all-new flooring (no carpet!) installed in the last two years. The spacious living room features tray ceilings, custom built-ins, and a cozy gas fireplace. The kitchen shines with quartz and granite counters, a farmhouse sink, pantry, and a handy mudroom drop zone just off the epoxy-floored 2-car garage. A separate laundry room adds function and storage. The private primary suite overlooks nature and offers a spa-like en-suite with a tiled step-in shower, soaking tub, double vanities, private water closet, and oversized walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide flexible space for guests or a home office. One of the home’s standout features is the 11′ x 19′ four-seasons room (not in total sq ft), perfect for enjoying backyard views year-round. A concrete patio adds space for grilling and relaxing. Community Perks: HOA is just $1,200/year and includes gated security, sidewalks, trails, and access to amenities like a private Oak Island beach club with oceanfront pool, a waterfront park with kayak launch, and a newly renovated marina-side restaurant. Optional club membership grants access to golf, pools, dining, and more. Don’t miss your chance to own this peaceful, well-appointed home in one of coastal North Carolina’s premier communities!
