Welcome to effortless coastal elegance in this impeccably maintained one-level cottage style home, perfectly positioned on a tranquil lake in the heart of Riverlights. Bathed in natural light, the open-concept design is both inviting and functional -- ideal for everyday living and memorable entertaining. The stunning kitchen anchors the home, flowing seamlessly into the spacious living and dining spaces. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and an exceptional walk-in closet. A second bedroom and private home office/future 3rd bedroom with french doors both enjoy peaceful lake views, while the four-season sunroom steals the show -- capturing breathtaking sunsets. A rare and highly coveted rear alley-loaded garage allows the front of the home to shine with charming curb appeal and uninterrupted water views -- a prized feature in this community. Step onto the covered front porch to enjoy your morning coffee as fountains shimmer across the lake, or stroll the scenic walking trails just beyond your door step. Just minutes from both Riverlights' resort-style amenity centers and popular Marina Village with day docks, waterfront dining, shopping, and entertainment along the Cape Fear River. You can also enjoy kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding on the lake, two dog parks, and easy access to the area's largest Harris Teeter, historic Downtown Wilmington, Carolina Beach, and Wrightsville Beach. With the brand-new Riverlights Fire Department now open and 7 Bridge rapidly coming to life, this vibrant community truly feels like its own coastal town. Seeing is believing -- and opportunities like this are rare. If this is the lifestyle you've been waiting for, schedule your private tour today. Great vacation home or investment property!
