Listed for nearly $100,000 Under Appraised Value!! If your current home no longer works the way your life does! Welcome to 3818 Lemon Drop Ln in The Bluffs on the Cape Fear, a Leland NC riverfront community designed for how people actually live today.
With over 3,700 square feet, this home offers something rarely found at this price point, a true second living environment. The upstairs features a private kitchenette and multiple flex spaces, perfect as a guest suite, work from home zone, retreat for older children, or future multigenerational setup, all without disrupting the main living areas. This is intentional separation that gives you more control, privacy, and flexibility as your needs change, backed by nearly $100,000 in appraised equity from day one.
The main level is open, featuring plantation shutters, upgraded finishes, and a well appointed kitchen with granite countertops, custom backsplash, and generous workspace. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat, while additional bedrooms provide flexibility without compromise.
Major upgrades include an 18 SEER HVAC system, whole house generator, EV charging capability, leaf guard gutters, and transferable appliance warranties. The oversized garage offers true two car functionality.
The Bluffs on the Cape Fear offers a private restaurant and bar, pool, fitness center, private beach clubhouse at Oak Island, and private river access with a ramp and day dock, just a short drive to Wilmington.
Home may be sold furnished, décor and personal items do not convey.
