Property Description
When lifestyle, setting, and opportunity align... this lakefront gem in the highly sought-after Riverlights community stands out in all the right ways. Whether you are looking for a forever home, or a vacation place...this home is perfectly positioned to capture serene water views, and just a short stroll to one of Riverlights' premier amenity centers, beautifully set across the lake. Morning coffee, evening sunsets, and everything in between feel elevated here. Spacious front yard that is maintained by the HOA. Inside, an inviting open-concept design brings the outdoors in, with main living areas thoughtfully oriented to showcase the water. The kitchen is the heart of the home--featuring an expansive breakfast bar, gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious walk-in pantry--seamlessly flowing into a warm and cozy family room with a gas fireplace, a TV mounted above the mantel, and a light-filled breakfast area overlooking the lake. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with easy access to the laundry room and powder room for everyday convenience. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, with two enjoying tranquil water views, while a spacious bonus room with a large walk-in closet offers exceptional flexibility as a fifth bedroom, media room, or playroom. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a charming rocking-chair front porch, a private courtyard, and a screened porch designed for relaxing coastal evenings. Additional highlights include a rear-entry two-car garage. Riverlights continues to be one of Wilmington's most desirable communities located along the scenic Cape Fear River while offering resort-style amenities including two award-winning amenity centers, pickleball courts, fitness centers, dog parks, kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, scenic walking trails, and a vibrant calendar of year-round fun events. Ideally located near Downtown Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, and Carolina Beach, this home offers the lifestyle so many are searching for... but few properties deliver with this setting and convenience. Homes with this combination of lakefront views, layout, and walkability are becoming increasingly hard to find--schedule your private tour today..you will be happy you did!
