Introducing your dream home nestled within the picturesque community of Sunset Reach—a gated riverfront community just a short 10-minute ride from downtown Wilmington, accessible by both car and boat. Presenting The Heron Cove, a cottage-style residence meticulously crafted by Hagood Homes, currently in the process of being brought to life on a serene lakeside homesite. This new construction home transcends expectations, offering a wealth of features beyond the surface. Boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths on the main level, it's expertly tailored to accommodate your unique lifestyle. Ascend to the upper level, where a versatile bonus room with a full bath beckons, promising endless possibilities—a guest suite, a tranquil home office, or your personal sanctuary. Step into the heart of the home, where an open-concept layout sets the stage for gatherings and intimate moments. An elegant dining area lends a touch of refinement, while the kitchen, the soul of the home, showcases a spacious island and a convenient walk-in pantry. Experience the allure of 10-foot ceilings in the bedrooms, complemented by 8-foot doors and expansive 6-foot windows. Retreat to the covered screen porch for a rejuvenating breath of fresh air, or take advantage of the ample storage offered by the 2-car garage. Meanwhile, the Trane 18 SEER XV high-efficiency HVAC system ensures year-round comfort, while the inclusion of spray foam insulation in the attic, exterior walls, and garage ceiling reduces energy bills by an impressive 40%, promoting both savings and environmental consciousness. Rest easy with an ecoSelect third-party home inspection (HERS energy certificate), validating ongoing savings on your electric bill. Sunset Reach extends an array of amenities to its residents, including a scenic walking and biking trail, kayaking opportunities on the interior lake, a luxurious pool with clubhouse, a pickleball court, and the convenience of a riverfront marina offering boat slips for purchase.
