Rare Backyard Privacy! One of this home's most valuable features is its protected backyard, where you'll never have neighbors building behind you. Enjoy the rare luxury of lasting privacy surrounded by a peaceful wooded backdrop. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, relaxing after a long day, or entertaining friends, you'll appreciate the tranquility, natural beauty, and sense of calm that make this setting so special. Located on one of the largest cul-de-sac homesites in Arbor Creek, this beautifully maintained home offers privacy, quality finishes, and an exceptional coastal lifestyle. Backing to a peaceful wooded nature area, the fenced backyard provides the perfect setting for gardening, relaxing, or entertaining while enjoying the serenity of your own private outdoor space. Built in 2019 with over 1,800 square feet of living space, the home features engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas, granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious family room highlighted by a cathedral ceiling and a cozy gas-log fireplace. The Carolina room, with its vaulted ceiling and expansive backyard views, offers flexible space for a home office, reading room, or additional accommodations for visiting family and friends. The private primary suite also overlooks the wooded backyard and includes a beautifully appointed bath with a custom tiled walk-in shower. Tile flooring in all wet areas and a convenient laundry room just off the garage add to the home's thoughtful design and everyday functionality. Thoughtful upgrades throughout the home provide both comfort and peace of mind, including a whole-house AquaOx water filtration system, new water heater (2025), KitchenAid dishwasher, super-quiet InSinkErator garbage disposal, custom shades and plantation shutters, polyaspartic-coated garage floor, gutter guards, and a fully fenced backyard designed for pets, gardening, and outdoor enjoyment. Arbor Creek is one of the area's most sought-after communities, offering resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and convenient boat and RV storage. Ideally located just minutes from Oak Island's beautiful beaches, championship golf courses, shopping, medical facilities, and the historic waterfront of Southport, the community also offers easy access to the new bridge connection and planned commercial development nearby. There are month-to-month tenants in place through September. Please allow a minimum of 24 hours' notice for all showing appointments. The backyard adjoins protected wetlands, providing a peaceful natural buffer and ensuring no future development directly behind the home. A small portion of the rear of the lot is located in an AE flood zone; however, the home is not currently required to carry flood insurance, and the seller does not maintain a flood insurance policy. Please refer to the attached survey for detailed lot dimensions. If you're looking for a move-in-ready home on an oversized private homesite with exceptional upgrades, lasting backyard privacy, and outstanding neighborhood amenities, this Arbor Creek property is one you won't want to miss.
