Welcome to this eclectic cottage with a charming southern wrap-around porch overlooking Charles Creek in the fishing village of Sneads Ferry. Sit down on your swing and gather with friends and neighbors and take it all in - Southern Living at its' finest! This property will amaze you at every step with its custom touches. As you enter, you can admire a bright living room that welcomes you and feels as though it was made for cozy evenings around a fireplace with a nice glass of wine, listening to music, reading your favorite author, playing family games, conducting deep conversations or just watching movies. The original wood burning fireplace was converted into a gas log system, but the current owner had it disconnected. The new owners can explore both options. The gourmet kitchen with updated cabinet paint and brass hardware, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, breakfast nook and working island will please every chef. A formal dining room is ready for the new owners to host their holiday meal. The Master Suite offers private access to the porch. Two spare bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower. A bright mudroom leads you to the den and office. A spacious laundry room with storage cabinets and a utility sink together with a coat closet complete the home. Step out onto a breath-taking and freshly stained deck with a new pergola and enjoy your Southern tea. Once you sit down, you will never want to leave. And if this was not enough to blow your mind away, let's take a few more steps and explore the freshly remodeled workshop which the current owner is using as her office. It's a great place that will work as an art studio, yoga room or for your ''young visitors'' to have a place to play and stay with a convenient loft allowing it to be used as a bedroom. The home also features a brand-new metal roof, as well as new flooring in the outbuilding office, updated hardware, light fixtures and mirrors, kayak storage in the garage, new outdoor lighting, a freshly stained porch and deck and the owner is offering one-year home warranty. Get wild with your gardening skills, roast marshmallows at an already established firepit or just simply grab a fishing pole, jump in a kayak at the end of the community ramp and day dock and get to some rip'n & grip'n. Looking for more fun and activities? Gather with your friends and neighbors at the community pool and club house or take a short drive and cross the bridge to Topsail Island with highly rated beaches to relax and simply bask in the sun. This property has it all! The absolutely amazing location is another feature which this property offers - situated close to a 4-star rated golf course, shopping, schools and 5 minutes from the back gate of Camp LeJeune.
