206 Bungalow Rd, Holly Ridge, NC 28445

This beautiful home, built by Stevens Fine Homes, stands out not only for its thoughtful upgrades but for its exceptional upkeep—it's the kind of well-maintained property buyers hope for but rarely find (and rarely believe exists until they see it). With three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and over 1,600 square feet of smart, stylish living space, this home offers a preferred closing between September and October—just in time to host a fall BBQ on your back patio or throw together the perfect setup for Halloween trick-or-treaters who know where the * good * candy lives. The main floor features 9-foot ceilings, sleek laminate flooring throughout, and an open-concept layout ideal for both quiet evenings and lively gatherings. The kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, upgraded Markraft cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in pantry for all your snacks (and that one appliance you swore you'd use more often). Crown molding adds a touch of elegance in just the right spots. The space flows into a generous dining area and oversized living room, with sliding doors leading to a * * fully fenced backyard * * featuring an * * extended concrete patio * * —perfect for stargazing, fire pits, or pretending you have a green thumb. All of it's framed by those * * beautiful Carolina breezes * * we locals never take for granted. Upstairs, the primary suite delivers with tray ceilings, a double vanity, soaking tub, separate shower, and a walk-in closet big enough to challenge your online shopping habits. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor—one of which is larger than expected and ideal for guests, a home office, or the world's happiest dog room. All bedrooms feature ceiling fans, which means extra airflow and lower cooling bills—plus, who doesn't love a gentle breeze while they sleep? The laundry room is also located upstairs, right where it belongs, so no more hauling laundry up and down stairs.
