Property Description
Located on a large lot in RiverLights, this one-story home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an open-concept layout designed for comfortable living. A private alley-access garage features a durable epoxy floor, which is stronger than bare concrete, easier to clean, and resistant to stains and impacts. The front entrance opens into the living room, highlighted by a coffered ceiling, classic Craftsman-style molding, and a natural gas log fireplace flanked by two windows and built-in shelving. Plantation shutters enhance both the living room and dining room. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through the main living areas and the primary bedroom. The kitchen includes a large island with seating space for stools, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, natural gas stove, and a generously sized pantry with wood shelving. It overlooks the dining room, which features modern flat-panel wainscoting typical of Craftsman-style homes. A hallway off the kitchen leads to the laundry room and mudroom, which connects to the garage and includes cubbies for a convenient drop zone and a storage closet with wood shelving. The primary suite features a tray ceiling, double-sink vanity, frameless tiled walk-in shower with a high transom window, water closet, and large walk-in closet with custom wood shelving. Two guest bedrooms with carpet and reach-in closets sit off the living room. One includes built-in shelving, making it also suitable for use as a home office, reading room, or space for displaying books or collectibles. A guest bathroom offers a tiled tub/shower combo with a grab bar and transom window. Off the dining room is a sunroom (not included in heated sq.ft.) and a small patio. RiverLights residents enjoy resort-style amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, playground, walking trails, and a scenic Cape Fear River riverwalk known for its sunset views.
