About This Home
Discover a rare waterfront opportunity on one of the largest and most private lots in this highly sought after midtown neighborhood. A unique combination of space, privacy and opportunity. This spacious two-story home sits on two full lots (1.46 acres) creating an expansive buffer of mature trees and natural privacy. Property borders a navigable, tidal creek with direct access to the Cape Fear River. Perfect for kayaking or just enjoying the quiet beauty of the water. The interior floorplan is generous and flexible with large rooms for everyone and everything. The home features: 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, large bonus room with a separate entrance ideal for a home office or studio, and all the formal spaces: dining room, living room, and family room, a spacious kitchen with a big breakfast nook, two fireplaces, and a bright sunroom leading out to the deck with wide creek and marsh views. While the home has been loved for many years, it's ready for a new owner to bring fresh updates and personal touches. With this much square footage, this much land, and this location, the upside is tremendous. Residents enjoy a county park within the neighborhood with walking trails, tennis courts, and an outdoor pool, all just moments away. If you have been searching for a waterfront property with privacy, space, and potential in an established and highly desirable community this is the one.
