Rare opportunity to buy in The Reserve at Masonboro, a small, private, waterfront community overlooking Hewlett's Creek. Enter this beautiful brick 4-bedroom, 3-bath home to the foyer to find hardwoods throughout the living space, high ceilings, plantation shutters, a formal dining room, and living room with built-ins and a gas-log fireplace. Natural gas also serves as the heating system and water heater, in addition to a gas stove in the kitchen. The split floor plan offers a private primary suite with new LVP flooring and two other bedrooms downstairs for guests or office space. A fourth bedroom with an ensuite bathroom can be found upstairs. The downstairs is completed with a large sunroom to relax in or enjoy your morning coffee. Off the sunroom, you will find a fenced patio for outdoor seating or a grill. This home has been well loved and taken care of, with the roof being replaced in 2021 and the HVAC in 2019. A one-minute walk around the bend leads you to the clubhouse and community pool, plus you will find the community pier leading out to breathtaking views of the marsh and Hewlett's Creek with access for kayaking. Homes in this neighborhood don't come on the market often, and when they do, it's not for long.
