The kitchen is equally impressive, featuring custom white cabinetry, a large quartz island, and an oversized walk-in pantry that makes everyday cooking and entertaining a joy. The first-floor primary suite is generously proportioned, offering a spa-inspired bath with granite countertops, a large walk-in closet, and the rare convenience of a laundry room connected directly to the primary bath. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a private bonus suite with its own walk-in closet and full bath serves equally well as a guest retreat, kids' haven, or creative space. The enclosed Carolina Room is a natural extension of the living space, overlooking a fully fenced backyard with more than enough room for a future pool. Thoughtful upgrades throughout include a whole-house Generac generator, tankless water heater, reverse osmosis water filtration, security system with cameras, and an oversized two-car garage with insulated 18x8 doors.

Some people build a house because they need one. Others build because they're finally ready to live the way they've always wanted. This wooded 0.38-acre homesite sits near the end of a cul-de-sac in The Bluffs on the Cape Fear, backing to HOA-owned land for additional privacy. Bring your own plans and choose from some of the area's best custom builders to create a home that's designed for you--not a builder's inventory sheet. One of the things that makes The Bluffs different is that it doesn't feel like every house came from the same set of plans. The community encourages custom, coastal-inspired homes while preserving the mature trees and natural setting that drew people here in the first place. The result is a neighborhood with character, where quality architecture and thoughtful design help protect both the beauty of the community and your investment. Life here is less about checking off amenities and more about how you spend your weekends. Hop on your golf cart and head to the resort-style pool or clubhouse for lunch. Play a game of pickleball. Launch your kayak or boat from the community ramp onto the Cape Fear River. Fish from the stocked lake, stroll the marina boardwalk, or simply find a quiet spot by the water before heading home for dinner. When you want a beach day, you don't have to own a beach house to enjoy one. Residents have access to a private beach club on Oak Island with dedicated parking and direct beach access. You get all the fun of spending the day at the beach without another property to maintain, insure, furnish, or worry about every time a hurricane spins up. That's a pretty good trade. Need even more room? The adjoining homesite is also available, creating a rare opportunity to own nearly three-quarters of an acre in one of the community's most desirable locations. When you're building your forever home, don't just choose a lot. Choose the life that comes with it.
