About this home
Tucked away among tall pines and mature oaks in the sprawling Boiling Spring Lakes community, The Hunting Island Cottage is a dream. Approximately 2 months from completion, this modern cottage offers 1350 square feet of cozy living space. Need a little extra space? An optional single-car detached garage is available. The spacious, covered front porch is the perfect spot to enjoy the quiet beauty that Boiling Spring Lakes offers - you might even catch a glimpse of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. The living room opens to a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, soft close cabinets and open shelving. You'll find durable, waterproof engineered hardwood flooring throughout - so bring on the pets, sand and fun. The dining room, located just off the living room, brings the beauty of the outdoors in with generous windows and a glass panel exterior door. Off the kitchen you'll find the space-efficient laundry room, complete with folding table and plenty of room for a stackable washer and dryer. Continue past the laundry room into the master suite, featuring double closets and beautiful master bath with a double vanity and walk-in shower - the tankless water heater will allow you to luxuriate as long as you please. Upstairs you'll find two quaint bedrooms with gabled ceilings and ample natural light, a sweet reading nook and a charming guest bath. This second bath features a semi-freestanding tub/shower combination and classic tile for an open and airy retreat. Boiling Spring Lakes offers spring-fed swimming lakes and beaches, walking trails, eight parks and playgrounds, an 18-hole golf course and a disc golf course. A prime central location - only 10 miles from downtown Southport, 11 miles from Oak Island beaches and 13 miles from Wilmington's bustling Front Street.
