Discover this extensively renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, proudly situated on 3.25 acres of professionally improved grounds designed for both beauty and sustainability. The impressive list of exterior improvements begins with professionally graded grounds designed to promote proper drainage, minimize erosion, and effectively handle heavy rainfall. Unhealthy trees under 12 inches in diameter, along with their stumps, have been removed to enhance both the safety and appearance of the property. Approximately 150 yards of fill dirt, over 100 yards of organic topsoil, and more than 100 tons of gravel have been added, creating a well-maintained and durable landscape. The entire 3.25-acre perimeter is enclosed by a custom-built 6-foot fence, constructed with 6x6 posts set three feet into the ground and reinforced with 2x6 horizontal boards for exceptional strength. Designed with versatility in mind, the fence can easily be converted into a complete privacy fence by adding additional boards. Powder-coated iron entry gates with locking capability provide both security and long-lasting rust resistance. Peace of mind comes standard with a Google Nest security camera system positioned around the property, while additional floodlights and dusk-to-dawn lighting provide excellent visibility throughout the backyard and surrounding areas. Inside, the home has been completely remodeled from top to bottom. New shiplap ceilings and new luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout, creating a cohesive, modern look. The kitchen is equipped with new butcherblock countertops and drop-in sink. The refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, built-in microwave, washer and dryer are only a few months old with minimal use. The HVAC system and all major mechanical components have been inspected and are in working order, with the air ducts having been professionally cleaned by Stanley Steamer. A new heavy-duty rear deck and side entrance were thoughtfully constructed to complement the ranch-style aesthetic and match the quality craftsmanship of the property's fencing. From the rear deck enjoy a brand-new paver fire pit area located just off the back deck--ready for your first gathering--and a freshly revitalized lawn enhanced with more than 30 additional yards of organic topsoil, professional graded, raked and reseeded. The barn has also received significant updates, including a complete interior and exterior pressure washing, newly installed pavers throughout each room, and attractive paver aprons at both the front and rear entrances. Every update to this property has been thoughtfully considered, offering the perfect blend of modern comfort, functionality, and ranch living. Give us a call today to come see this one of kind property for yourself! Located only minutes from Oak Island, and less than a hours drive to Wilmington, other Brunswick County beaches, and Myrtle Beach SC.
