Escape to a serene waterfront oasis in Wilmington's Echo Farms neighborhood, where this stunning 0.91-acre property awaits. The beautiful three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with solar panels, a hot tub, and 20x14 screen porch. A detached garage with storage above and an additional building with electric provide ample storage and flexibility, while the absence of HOA fees allows you the freedom to enjoy your property as you wish. Priced at $550,000, this incredible property is a rare find, approximately 20 minutes from Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach, and only minutes from restaurants and shopping. This turn-key marshfront Cape Cod home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and backs onto Barnards Creek, a lush green tidal marsh with wildlife and breathtaking sunset views. Step into this meticulously maintained retreat where hardwood floors throughout create an easy, clean living space. The beautifully appointed living room flows into a large dining area through glass pocket doors that offer unobstructed views of the marsh and sunsets. The spacious kitchen and eat-in breakfast nook also feature stunning marsh views! French doors lead to a vaulted ceiling screened porch equipped with ceiling fans. The large private yard is perfect for enjoying unparalleled sunsets or listening to the sounds of wildlife in the marsh. With large rooms, the master suite can be located on either the upper or lower level. Additional features include two HVAC units, an external generator hookup to keep the lights and refrigerator running during outages, solar panels that help reduce utility bills, a security system, a well irrigation system, and a fully finished outbuilding with a separate electric meter--ideal for a hobbyist or a man/woman cave. With plenty of closets and storage space, the best part is that you can paddleboard or kayak on the creek right from your own backyard! All of this, and you're still close to shopping, restaurants, and downtown.
