Welcome to Arbor Creek, a highly sought-after, amenity-rich community just outside Southport city limits, offering the advantage of county taxes only while being minutes from everything coastal living has to offer. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,422SF of comfortable living space and is perfectly positioned at the end of Country Garden Lane, creating a quiet and private setting. The charming wrap-around front porch overlooks one of the community’s scenic ponds with fountain, an ideal place for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. Inside, you’ll find gorgeous hardwood floors throughout the main living areas, tile in the bathrooms, and freshly professionally cleaned carpet in the bedrooms. The inviting living room features a gas log fireplace and flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a bright bay window dining area. The primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a private bath with tiled shower, and two closets including a walk-in. Guest bedrooms are generously sized with great closet space, and the home offers abundant storage throughout, including pull-down attic access for additional storage. A spacious laundry room with direct access to the wrap-around porch adds convenience, and the washer, dryer, and refrigerator convey. The rear deck (approximately 215SF) overlooks peaceful wooded community green space, creating a private backdrop perfect for bird watching or quiet evenings. An 8.5′ x 6′ exterior storage room adds even more functionality. The home has been professionally cleaned from top to bottom and power washed prior to listing, truly move-in ready. Arbor Creek features a clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, boat/RV storage lot, community garden, ponds throughout, and active neighborhood groups and events. Annual dues are $1,302.
