Perfectly positioned along one of Waterford of the Carolinas' scenic canals, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers an exceptional blend of a highly desirable floor plan, canal-front setting, and valuable updates. Designed for primarily one-level living, the home features three bedrooms and two full baths on the main floor, while the private upstairs suite with its own ensuite bath provides the perfect space for guests, a home office, or a multipurpose room.
Abundant natural light fills the home, highlighting the gorgeous 5-inch walnut flooring throughout the main living areas, 18-inch tile in the kitchen, and tile plank flooring in the primary bath. Luxury vinyl plank flooring enhances the remaining first-floor living spaces, offering both style and durability. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features granite countertops, beautifully crafted cabinetry, a pantry, stainless steel appliances, a natural gas range, and a breakfast nook, all opening seamlessly to the living room with its cathedral ceiling and inviting gas fireplace.
The spacious primary suite is a peaceful retreat, offering tranquil canal views, a walk-in closet with an organizational system, and an ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub and separate tiled shower.
Step outside to the screened porch and adjoining patio overlooking the serene canal, where the aluminum-fenced backyard provides the perfect place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the peaceful waterfront backdrop. Whether sipping your morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day, the tranquil setting offers a relaxing escape right in your own backyard.
Additional highlights include a newer HVAC system (2025), backyard sod (2025), an epoxy-coated garage floor, Ecobee smart thermostats, smart coded door locks, an irrigation system, and a transferable termite bond.
Enjoy resort-style living in this gated community featuring a beautiful clubhouse, zero-entry saltwater pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boating, fishing, and miles of walking and biking trails. Ideally located less than 15 minutes from historic downtown Wilmington, with convenient access to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences in nearby Leland.
