Beautiful 4-bd/3.5ba (2300 sq. ft) home in the gated community of Hickory Bluffs. Swansboro schools. Quiet neighborhood with community dock access to the Queens Creek inter-coastal waterway. Located less than 15 minutes from the 172/Hubert back gate of Camp Lejeune.
Downstairs features a formal dining room, a den/office (with French doors), an entry closet, a powder room half bath, an eat-in kitchen nook, a mudroom/laundry room, and a large family room with a gas fireplace. Engineered hardwood flooring is throughout. The kitchen has granite countertops, freshly painted custom cabinets with new knobs, and Whirlpool stainless steel appliances. The mudroom off the garage houses an LG front-load washer and dryer that stay with the home for tenant use. A mounted Sony Vizio TV in the corner of the kitchen nook stays with the home--great for passing time washing dishes or folding laundry.
Upstairs features 4 (recently re-carpeted) bedrooms and 3 full ceramic-tiled bathrooms.
The master bedroom features a tray ceiling, a beautiful master bath with Jacuzzi soaking tub, a separate shower, jack-and-jill sinks, a water closet, a linen closet, and a large walk-in closet. The first bedroom, a large FROG (front-room-over-garage), is perfect for summer guests and has its own full bathroom, walk-in closet, and two finished storage eaves (with lighting). The two remaining bedrooms have plenty of natural light and excellent-sized closets. All four bedrooms feature accordion blackout shades and overhead fans. Nest thermostats (one upstairs, one downstairs) help to maximize home energy usage.
There is a spacious two-car garage with mounted peg-board for tools; the garage floor is newly epoxied.
The back door leads to a shaded screened-in porch with a new coastal ceiling fan. Moving into the backyard, a (new) reinforced Trex deck is ready for a hot tub. The entire backyard is fenced by a newly installed black aluminum 54" fence (picket spacing is 3 & 7/8" inches).
The beautifully landscaped yard boasts mature trees and flowering blooms, including magnolia, crepe myrtle, plum, camellias, gardenias, and azaleas. A WiFi sprinkler system reduces water waste. Tenants are responsible for lawn care (mowing, weeding, raking, and bush trimming).
Private community dock is perfect for launching kayaks, fishing, and crabbing.
Swansboro schools; elementary, middle, and high school buses pick students up outside of the community front gate. Bike rack located inside front gate.
All lock hardware and outdoor light fixtures are recently replaced, and all popcorn ceilings upstairs and down, including the garage were recently removed. It looks amazing!
