Discover your dream home nestled within the picturesque community of Sunset Reach—a gated riverfront community just a short 10-minute ride from downtown Wilmington, by car or boat. Located on a serene lakeside homesite, The Heron Cove, a cottage-style residence meticulously crafted by Hagood Homes is ready for you to call home. This home transcends expectations, offering a wealth of features beyond the surface. Boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths on the main level, it's expertly tailored to accommodate your unique lifestyle. Ascend to the upper level, where a versatile bonus room with a full bath beckons, promising endless possibilities—a guest suite, a tranquil home office, or your personal sanctuary. Step into the heart of the home, where an open-concept layout sets the stage for gatherings and intimate moments. An elegant dining area lends a touch of refinement, while the kitchen, the soul of the home, showcases a spacious island and a convenient walk-in pantry. Experience the allure of 10-foot ceilings in the bedrooms, complemented by 8-foot doors and expansive 6-foot windows. Retreat to the covered screen porch for a rejuvenating breath of fresh air, or take advantage of the ample storage offered by the 2-car garage. Meanwhile, the Trane 18 SEER XV high-efficiency HVAC system ensures year-round comfort, while the inclusion of spray foam insulation in the attic, exterior walls, and garage ceiling reduces energy bills by 40 percent, promoting both savings and environmental consciousness. Sunset Reach is designed for those who love life on off the water. Enjoy morning walks or bike rides along scenic trails, launch your kayak from the peaceful interior lake, or spend the afternoon at the riverfront marina where boat slips are available for purchase. Play a round of pickleball, and look forward to even more with a planned pool and clubhouse with fitness room coming soon.
