Property Description
The Price is Right in Rivermist ! Welcome to this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offering over 1,400 square feet of comfortable living space and a double-car garage. Built in 2014, this home has been kept in excellent condition and is located in the desirable Rivermist community of Southport. The interior features an open floor plan designed for easy living and entertaining. A split bedroom layout ensures privacy for guests, with the guest suite positioned away from the owner's suite. In addition to the bedrooms, the home offers a versatile flex space that can serve as an office, workout room, craft space, or reading nook. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, with a large island currently a freestanding piece of furniture that will remain with the home, providing extra prep and storage space. The home's thoughtful design extends outdoors. A partial metal roof accents the covered front porch, while the rear of the home opens to both a covered and uncovered patio, creating multiple spaces for relaxation or entertaining. A fire pit enhances the backyard experience, making it a great setting for gatherings. An irrigation system was installed in 2018, helping to maintain the home's beautiful curb appeal. Rivermist is known for its strong sense of community and extensive amenities. Residents enjoy a clubhouse with fitness facility, community pool, tennis courts, and playground, along with a full social calendar of activities. This home is situated near the rear of the neighborhood, providing a sense of privacy while still enjoying the benefits of the community. The location is hard to beat-just 10 minutes to the historic waterfront district of downtown Southport, with its restaurants, galleries, and shops along the Cape Fear River. The sandy beaches of Oak Island are also only about 10 minutes away, offering the best of both coastal living and small-town charm. This home is easy to show, but appointments are required.
