Seller offering $5000 credit to buy down rate or use as you choose! Tucked away in the intimate community of Harborside, this beautifully maintained two-story home sits on a lush, 0.44 acre lot just minutes from the water. Ideally located less than a mile from Scotts Hill Marina and Sailfish Grill on the water, with no city taxes and just 23 minutes to Wrightsville Beach! Offering over 2,600 square feet, the home is beaming with character and natural light throughout. The formal dining room showcases beautiful paneling and coffered ceilings. The spacious, open living room features a gas-log fireplace and connects to a bright and airy breakfast nook and a gorgeous kitchen. The kitchen offers granite countertops, tile backsplash, an abundance of cabinetry and counter space, plus a new gas stove and double oven. A bedroom and full bathroom are conveniently located on the first floor, providing flexibility for guests, a home office, or single-level living. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary suite featuring tray ceilings and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share another full bathroom, while a large bonus room provides endless possibilities for a media room, playroom, office, or additional living space. The second floor is complete with a laundry room. Find peace of mind knowing a new HVAC was installed in 2025! Step outside to enjoy the patio overlooking the fenced backyard, where there's plenty of room to relax, play, entertain, or store your boat. A newer 10x20 storage shed provides additional space for tools and outdoor equipment, and with the marina less than a mile away, boating and waterfront recreation are right at your fingertips. Plus, you're only about 15 minutes from Porters Neck Country Club. Septic tank is being inspected and pumped on Sept. 17th.
