If you have been waiting for a better than new, stunning home with a yard large enough to accommodate a pool, then you are in luck! Welcome to The Retreat, a vibrant and social community just minutes from the pristine sands of Ocean Isle Beach. Conveniently located to shopping, dining, beach, golf, healthcare and other recreation opportunities, this house is an absolute gem. These conscientious owners have taken excellent care of this home and done some nice extras, including a sunroom, custom blinds, paver extensions to the driveway, and an oversized paver patio with pergola. The high, beamed ceilings add to the open and airy feel of this home. Wainscoting adorns the foyer and dining area and craftsman-style trim detail gives this home an elegant, coastal feel. The living room boasts LVP flooring and a fireplace surrounded by built-ins. With an efficient, split floor plan, both guests and owners can enjoy their privacy while still sharing common area. The living room, kitchen and dining area are all adjacent to each other, offering very comfortable space for lounging or entertaining. The spacious kitchen offers two-toned cabinetry, an island with granite counters, tile backsplash, wall oven, electric cooktop, vent hood and pantry. Natural light just pours into this home from the front door complete with transom and sidelights, and the multiple windows along the rear of the home. The generously-sized primary bedroom is your retreat at the end of the day, with its massive closet and ensuite complete with tiled, walk-in shower with frameless glass doors, dual vanities and soaking tub. The guest bedrooms are a comfortable size and share a full bathroom between them. The guest bathroom boasts a tiled, tub-shower with transom window, wainscoting, and additional large linen closet for extra storage. The laundry room is well adorned with cubbies and cabinets for storage and a drop zone. Imagine yourself enjoying your morning coffee or an evening beverage from your grand screened porch, enjoying your beautiful patio and peaceful yard. Speaking of yard, this backyard is a rare find as it is absolutely large enough to accommodate a pool! Amenities at the Retreat include an open-air lanai with bar area, shuffleboard court, and resort-style pool. This location is extremely convenient, and one of the few areas where you can take a golf cart to the beach and shopping. This is a very happy and active community, with newcomers welcomed!
