Serene creekside retreat with exceptional indoor & outdoor living! Welcome to this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 3½-bath home offering a rare combination of comfort, privacy, and tranquil natural surroundings. The updated kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring custom Decora cherry cabinetry, granite countertops with elegant ogee edge, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances including Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, gas range, and a wine cooler. Beautiful hardwood, teak hardwood, and Brazilian Koa flooring add warmth and character throughout the home. The spacious family room is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a vaulted ceiling accented by horizontal beams and a wood-burning fireplace that creates a cozy and welcoming gathering space. Step outside the family room to the screened-in porch where you can enjoy morning coffee, dine al fresco, or sit back and take in the peaceful views of the woods and Red Clay Creek. The partially finished walkout basement adds versatile living space and includes a full bath. Just outside the sliding door, unwind in the hot tub surrounded by the serenity of the woods. Lower the canvas walls for added privacy and a more secluded retreat. Down the hill, a spacious deck provides another wonderful vantage point overlooking the creek and wooded landscape - a perfect space to unwind and read a book. Just beyond the backyard, gather around a fire pit for evenings filled with s’mores and memories. Nature and history are right outside your door, with the unique opportunity to watch the Wilmington & Western Railroad’s historic locomotives make their way through the woods—often beautifully decorated during the holidays. When it’s time to relax, retreat to the spacious primary suite, thoughtfully created by combining two bedrooms. The suite features a walk-in closet and luxurious en-suite bath with walk-in shower and luxury onyx accent tile. A two-car garage, with interior access, completes this exceptional home. A newer roof and whole home generator add peace of mind. Come tour this truly special property - where privacy, nature, entertaining, and everyday comfort come together in one remarkable setting.
