Tucked in the highly desirable Freedom Section of Avalon, this 2019-built Bristol plan offers 1,646 square feet of thoughtfully designed space in the heart of Brunswick County. Just minutes from the beaches, shopping, and the historic charm of Southport, you'll enjoy the best of coastal Carolina living with top-notch amenities right in your neighborhood. Inside, you'll be greeted by a bright and airy entryway with wide plank LVP flooring, leading to two spacious front bedrooms with a full bath in between — ideal for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. The open-concept living area features a propane fireplace, a large kitchen with a walk-in pantry, beautiful countertops, stylish backsplash, shiplap-accented island, and updated lighting that brings warmth and character to the space. The combination dining area is perfect for entertaining or everyday meals. The primary suite is filled with natural light and offers a true retreat with a huge walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity, private water closet, and an updated walk-in shower.
