Built from the aptly-named plans, The Spirit of ’76, this home features all the angles and lines that marked the architectural style of the decade – but with modern updates that matter. Hardie shingle siding near the foundation is durable, waterproof and nearly maintenance-free. The metal roof, installed in 2018, comes with a lifetime warranty and the HVAC system was fully replaced in 2016. Owned and well-loved by the same family since it was built in 1979, this home is awaiting its next chapter. 2401 E Boiling Spring Rd harkens to a time when Boiling Spring Lakes was a fledgling community, coming to life every summer. Sip lemonade under the shade of the magnolias, welcome the evening around a crackling fire and enjoy the expansive 0.56 acre corner lot, lovingly planted with a beautiful variety of plants. Enter the main living space through either of two doors, located in the front and back of the house. The living room, featuring a vaulted ceiling and propane fireplace, opens to dining room, kitchen and laundry room. Head down the hall to a full bath and master bedroom. A large storage closet tucked under the stairs utilizes every square inch of space. Across the hall from the master you’ll find a large sunroom that’s heated and cooled for year-round use. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Property features a 520 sq. ft. garage, turned workshop, and newly updated pump house, complete with metal roof and plenty of storage for a lawn mower and garden tools. Boiling Spring Lakes offers spring-fed swimming lakes and beaches, walking trails, eight parks and playgrounds, an 18-hole golf course and a disc golf course. A prime, central location – only 10 miles from downtown Southport, 11 miles from Oak Island beaches and 13 miles from Wilmington’s bustling Front Street.
