Description
Charming Custom Cottage in St. James Plantation – Move-In Ready!
Welcome to The Darcy! Built by St. James Developers, St. James Plantation West, this home reflects the highest standards of quality. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath coastal cottage is nestled in the Seaside community, one of the most sought-after areas in St James.
The inviting open-concept floor plan is perfect for entertaining or relaxing in comfort. It’s the low-maintenance, single-family home you’ve been looking for—without attached neighbors! Located in the Seaside neighborhood, you’ll enjoy walking-distance access to amenities and a nearby gate for quick trips to shopping or Oak Island. Enjoy rocking chair afternoons on the front porch with views of a beautifully landscaped pond.
As you enter the foyer, a versatile flex room to your left offers space for an office, hobby room, or den. The kitchen features brand-new appliances and a reverse osmosis water filtration system at the sink, combining style and functionality. Generous countertops provide ample prep space, along with a casual bar area for chatting or quick meals. The dining area, great room, and morning room flow seamlessly together, keeping everyone connected.
For year-round enjoyment, the rear sunroom adds an additional 240 sq ft of heated and cooled living space, offering privacy and a peaceful view of nature.
The spacious primary suite is a serene retreat, with windows overlooking a nature preserve, a large walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with a zero-entry shower.
Fresh paint inside and out gives the home a crisp, updated look. A generator plug has also been added for peace of mind. The garage is oversized for storage if needed and this offers a large floored storage area above it too. Best of all, the HOA maintains all exterior landscaping and irrigation, allowing you to enjoy a truly low-maintenance lifestyle.
An Active Club Membership is in place, potentially saving the new owner up to $10,000
