This four bedroom, three full bath ranch on a large lot just minutes from Wrightsville Beach is ready for you to call it home. You'll feel the charm of this property from the minute you turn into the driveway, which was created using historic brick pavers from downtown Wilmington, and then as you stand on the covered front porch under the archway. What sets this home apart in the interior is that two of the four bedrooms function as master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms; one of these bedrooms even has its own entrance and can be accessed separately. The kitchen is open to the dining room, which leads to the deck, overlooking the backyard view of a large majestic live oak tree. The charming family room includes bay windows and a fireplace, making it a wonderful spot to gather with family and friends.
