About This Home
As of April 2025Welcome home to Echo Farms! Dreaming of a spacious home complete with a custom picket fence? Look no further! This immaculately maintained 4 bed, 3 full bath home has ample space to make your own. The first-floor primary bedroom is extra roomy and includes a generously sized walk-in closet, sitting room, and ensuite bathroom. The spacious living room opens into a climate-controlled sunroom with light filtering shades. The sunroom's wall of Pella thermal windows allows sunlight to brighten the space and create a perfect relaxing environment. Need more light? The homes' five skylights will satisfy that need. Two additional bedrooms and an additional full bath are also located on the first floor. Upstairs you'll find the fourth bedroom and third bath along with a kitchenette, making the level perfect for a mother-in-law suite, teen space, or potential rental space. Don't forget to check out the FROG, complete with a new mini-split system installed in 2021. This home has so many nice features you'll need to see them for yourself to appreciate it all! Did I mention it has a whole-house back-up generator? Yeah, it has that too! The home is located in a private, residential area, but it is only a short 11-mile drive to the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, 11-mile drive to Wrightsville Beach, and 6-mile drive to Downtown Wilmington. Come see your new home today!
