Enjoy the picturesque sunrises and sunsets on your own private pier overlooking the mighty Cape Fear River. Launch your boats and go fishing or enjoy a sunset cruise - two 10,000-pound boat lifts on your private pier just out your back door.
The expansive 1.2 acre lot includes a fenced in back yard, and an elaborate fenced in garden with multiple raised beds. The property has ample room to add a swimming pool.

In the last 3 years, the home has had complete renovations to include all baths and the kitchen. Solid surface countertops, new cabinetry, and stainless-steel GE cafe appliances were added. Also included in the renovations were a bar area with built-in ice maker and mini fridge, a full house generator, and custom cabinetry to the home office. All hardwood floors were refinished and the entire exterior was freshly painted recently. The heated & cooled storage area and the mechanical room on ground level are not included in sq. footage.
