Country living just minutes from everything. A rare find -- space, privacy, and the good life all wrapped in timeless Southern charm. Welcome home to this beautifully maintained single-story retreat, nestled on over an acre of lush, private land -- with no city taxes. Shaded by majestic trees and set back from the road, this home offers the serenity of country living without sacrificing convenience. You're just 15 minutes from Camp Lejeune's Piney Green gate, making it an ideal choice for military families or anyone who values an easy commute. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the thoughtful layout. Ceramic tile flooring flows seamlessly through the family room, living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom -- offering durability and easy maintenance where it matters most. The secondary bedrooms feature warm laminate flooring and share a convenient Jack and Jill bathroom, ideal for family members or visiting guests. Major systems have already been taken care of -- both the HVAC and water heater were replaced in 2022, giving you peace of mind and savings from day one. Step outside to a fully enclosed back patio, your personal sanctuary for morning coffee or evening unwinding. And for hobbyists, craftspeople, or anyone who needs serious storage, this property delivers two large powered sheds/workshops -- a 1016 and a 1020 -- ready for your next project. But the real showstopper? The land itself. This property is a true homesteader's dream, with Asian pear trees, apple trees, blackberry bushes, and strawberry patches already established and ready to enjoy. Whether you're preserving jams, stocking a fruit bowl, or simply savoring the seasons right from your own backyard, this is farm-to-table living at its finest. Practicality meets comfort with a heated garage -- perfect for North Carolina winters, year-round projects, or a climate-controlled workshop space. This is country living at its finest, and it won't last long.
