What truly sets this home apart is its exceptional backyard setting. Backing to abundant acreage of wooded open space, as shown on the recorded plat, the home offers no houses directly behind it, along with peaceful natural views and a wonderful sense of privacy that is difficult to find within the community. Inside, you are greeted by a spacious open floor plan with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and calming views of the surrounding landscape. Laminate flooring flows throughout the home, with carpet in the secondary bedroom. The flexible breakfast nook can serve as a casual dining area, home office, or cozy sitting space. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a grand center island, Calacatta-inspired solid-surface countertops, an upgraded island cabinet color, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry with custom shelving. Privately positioned within the split-bedroom floor plan, the generous primary suite features a tray ceiling and an en suite bath with a double vanity, elegant Calacatta-inspired flooring and walk-in shower surround, a frameless glass shower door, and a spacious walk-in closet with a custom closet system. The secondary bedroom and full bath provide a comfortable and private space for guests. A separate laundry room with cabinets adds everyday convenience. Telescoping sliding doors open the living area to an inviting Eze-Breeze-enclosed three-season lanai, expanding the home's entertaining and relaxation space while capturing the beautiful wooded views. With the addition of a mini-split system and any necessary improvements and approvals, this space offers the potential to become a comfortable combination office and sitting room while adding functional, conditioned square footage to the home. Custom automatic roller shades along the telescoping doors add both style and privacy. An open backyard patio offers another peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors. Subject to the appropriate HOA and other required approvals, the existing patio may also provide an ideal foundation for a screened porch or an additional enclosed lanai, offering further potential to customize and expand the home's outdoor living space. Additional features include a tankless gas water heater, an interior freshly painted in 2024, recessed lighting throughout, custom exterior gutter guards, a two-car garage, a utility sink in the garage, an L-shaped workbench, and negotiable garage storage cabinets.

River Lights, located between the Cape Fear River and River Road, is a master-planned and waterfront Wilmington neighborhood with a riverwalk and a marina. The mood concentrates around the RiverLights Lakehouse and the Riverwalk, where patios, small shops, and event lawns set a social, outdoors-forward pace. Architectural lines lean coastal-contemporary, with porches, tidy streetscapes, and pocket parks stitched into the blocks. The Cape Fear River frames daily routines with boardwalk strolls and sunset views. Nearby anchors like Dram Tree Tavern, Satellite Bar and Lounge, and Live Oak Bank Pavilion extend the dining-and-music circuit beyond the gates.
