Property Description

Rare Opportunity to own a spectacular custom home minutes to Wilmington! Located on a manicured .78 acre corner lot, this beautifully-maintained, brick home of over 3000 s/f is situated in the peaceful and coveted community of Castle Lakes. Featuring 4-5 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms, formal dining room, living room and office, the ideal floorplan blends timeless elegance seamlessly with many recent updates. As you step up onto the stately rocking-chair front porch, you are welcomed inside to a pristine, sun-filled foyer with molding and gleaming hardwood floors that run throughout the first floor. A spacious dining room with French doors is ideal for holiday gatherings. The living room features a gas log fireplace, molding and lots of windows for enjoying the nature of the backyard. A chef-inspired kitchen adjoins the living room and includes granite countertops with stainless steel appliances, glass backsplash, center island with storage, and a charming, built-in dining area with custom table included. Outside, you'll love the 35 x 12 covered deck and the private, fenced backyard with shed, raised beds and firepit.

Rounding out the downstairs, there is a sunny office, ideal for working from home.

This home offers a huge walk-in attic, and an attached 2-car garage. The community of Castle Lakes features a custom home neighborhood that gets its name from the tranquil, cypress-lined lake. For your peace of mind, there is a transferable termite bond, roof replaced in 2024, heat pumps replaced in 2022 and 2025, and septic pumped 2025. Seller is including refrigerator, washer and dryer.
