Welcome to peaceful riverfront living on the beautiful Black River--just 22 miles from downtown Wilmington. This charming 990-square-foot custom waterfront home offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, set on a spacious 0.52-acre lot surrounded by nature. Inside, you'll find an inviting open-concept layout featuring rich wood details, including solid wood countertops, doors, and stunning wood ceilings in the main living area. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a new refrigerator (2024), and the home also boasts a new metal roof installed in 2023. The ground level provides a versatile multi-use space ideal for entertaining, storage, or parking, along with a convenient half bath and a heated outdoor shower. Step outside to enjoy the large deck at the water's edge, leading to your private floating dock--perfect for your pontoon boat. Nestled in a protected cove just off the Black River Thoroughfare, this location offers exceptional privacy and calm waters, shielded from passing boat traffic. The property also includes several additional structures: a detached workshop with electricity and cable (ideal for hobbies or a ''man cave''), a metal carport, and a lean-to for extra storage. Take a stroll down to the riverfront gazebo, complete with a beautiful stone fireplace--an ideal spot to unwind on cool evenings. The neighborhood boat ramp is conveniently located just down the street for easy access to the water. One of the home's standout features is its covered porches with scenic river views, along with a handy exterior cargo lift for moving larger items with ease. Located in an AE flood zone, the property did experience flooding during Hurricane Florence; however, the living space remained unaffected. Come experience the best of Black River living--where tranquility meets convenience, just a short drive from Wilmington.
