Thoughtfully positioned for its next owner, this home comes with a seller-paid year of HOA dues... and a seller who's open to making a great deal happen.

Welcome to 1831 Bards Drive, located in the desirable Freedom section of Avalon in Bolivia, Brunswick County, Southeastern North Carolina -- where weekly lawn maintenance is included in your HOA dues and life feels just a little lighter.

This home was purchased recently, lovingly improved, and meticulously maintained, making it one you can step into with true peace of mind. Major systems have been thoughtfully serviced, including the dryer vent, HVAC, fireplace, and irrigation system. You'll also find fresh paint throughout, new porch screening, a new garbage disposal, and a termite bond in place. Simply put -- it's clean as a whistle.

The exterior sets the tone with stacked stone accents, palm trees, fresh plantings and mulch, and crisp cement edging that keeps garden beds polished year-round. An oversized driveway offers generous parking.

Inside, a bright entry leads to a front bedroom and full bath. High-end LVP flooring flows into the main living spaces, where the kitchen shines with an island, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, backsplash, pantry, and an adjacent dining area bathed in natural light. The living room is cozy and tucked just beyond, featuring gas logs for easy ambiance.

At the rear of the home, the spacious primary suite offers comfort and privacy, complete with a large bathroom featuring dual sinks, walk-in tiled shower, water closet, linen storage, and a walk-in closet. A third bedroom is privately situated, along with a laundry room and a garage outfitted with shelving and epoxy-coated floors.

Out back is the true retreat -- a screened-in porch, pergola-covered patio, and a shed with a garden bump-out, all within a fenced, tree-lined yard that feels peaceful and purposeful.

This is a must-see home -- and one that deserves a top spot on your 2026 priorities.
