Tucked away in the sought-after Arbor Creek community, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience. This Donald Gardner plan was custom built with thoughtful details in mind. Step onto the front porch and into the inviting foyer and great room that showcases vaulted ceilings, cozy gas fireplace and beautiful hard wood floors. Inside, you'll love the functional split-bedroom floor plan with a clever pocket door that provides added privacy by separating the main living area from the guest bedrooms. The updated kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and offers a cozy breakfast nook as well as a formal dining room that is large enough to entertain friends and family. The primary suite is on the main level and boasts a renovated bath and a large jetted tub for a fresh, spa-like feel. Enjoy peace of mind with the NEW Roof installed in 2024, two new 14 SEER HVAC units installed in 2020 and 3M safety/security UV-tinted film on 14 exterior windows for added energy efficiency and protection. A large bonus room upstairs adds flexible space for a home office, playroom, or guest retreat, and includes an abundance of convenient walk-in storage. Living in Arbor Creek means access to exceptional amenities, including a beautiful clubhouse with fitness center, outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a community garden, and dedicated boat/RV storage area. Located just minutes from downtown Southport, area beaches, and the vibrant attractions of downtown Wilmington, this home offers the perfect balance of accessibility, elegance, and functionality.
