UPGRADED FINISHES & A LAYOUT THAT FLOWS - This 3-Bedroom, 3-Bathroom cottage-style design is a McKee Homes build in the popular Bellaport community where homes rarely come available. The moment you arrive a deep front porch and modern coastal bungalow styling usher you into a lovely front entryway. Inside, the wide foyer transitions into an open great room consisting of a large living room, enormous kitchen, and dining area. The living area is absolutely drenched in sunlight thanks to a bank of large, energy-efficient Low-E windows in the living room and dining area. Outfitted with custom plantation blinds, these windows allow for an easy transition between indoor and outdoor spaces and add an air of southern coastal charm to the neutral Scandi-meets-seaside color palette. The huge chef-style kitchen island is the heart of this home and a natural gathering place. The kitchen also features upgraded premium staggered, color glazed cabinetry with dovetails, a single basin stainless sink, fully tiled backsplash throughout, upgraded stainless refrigerator and oven/range, upgraded granite countertops and brushed nickel lighting package which carries throughout the home. Nearby is a flex room that makes a great study, office, playroom, media room, exercise or craft room. Just beyond a pair of double doors, the owner's suite is a true private retreat with a spa-like bathroom complete with upgraded L-shaped tiled shower, transom window upgrade, solar tube style sun tunnel, double sink vanity and two spacious walk-in closets. One of these passes through to the laundry room with its built-in folding station. Across the foyer, you'll find an additional first-floor bedroom and another full bath. Take advantage of Wilmington's greatest amenity, outdoor living, as you enjoy months of relaxation in the roomy enclosed 3-seasons room, sunning on the extended patio, or just taking in the prettily landscaped and irrigated, yard. If you hate to mow, this fenced backyard will be your favorite detail! Topping off the convenience of this outdoor retreat, is an added private sidewalk connecting the driveway to the backyard gate for a no-fuss transition. The home is clad in durable and attractive fiber cement and stone siding, with board and batten fronting, gutters, and carriage house garage finishes. This bungalow also includes a second-floor guest suite complete with a large living area, bedroom with spacious closet, and a full bath. You simply must see the walk-out, floored extended attic in-person to truly appreciate the magnitude of this additional storage space. It's huge! Just a short distance from the Cape Fear River, the location is near Halyburton Park, neighborhood schools, walking and hiking trails, and popular shopping and dining options.
