Property Description
If your dream home includes a backyard that feels like your own private resort, then 106 Francis Marion Dr. is calling your name — loudly. This home has THE backyard to enjoy all the seasons outdoors. Summers in North Carolina require two things, water and shade, and this home has both in abundance. Three years ago, it got a serious glow-up, featuring a gorgeous inground pool for cooling off during those hot summer days along with a connected hot tub, with spillover waterfalls, for the cooler evenings / months — so your enjoyment of the water doesn't stop just because the seasons change. The polar plunge in winter is also quite invigorating.
Kick back by the outdoor gas firepit and soak in the ambiance, all while enjoying the expansive patio that makes entertaining effortless. For those moments when you just want to relax in the shade, the massive screened-in porch has you covered — literally. With two large ceiling fans keeping the breeze just right, it's the perfect spot to sip your coffee in the morning or wind down with a glass of wine at night.
And the cherry on top? On quiet mornings and evenings, as you unwind in your own personal paradise, relax to the waves from the nearby ocean and Rich's Inlet. Coastal living just doesn't get much better than this.
Inside, the charm continues. Hardwood floors, beautifully accented by wainscoting, are featured throughout the downstairs, setting the stage for timeless elegance. The tray ceiling and dental molding in the foyer invite you into the formal dining room and living room, featuring custom built-ins surrounding a dual-sided gas-log fireplace — because why have just one cozy space when you can have two, right? An 18' vaulted ceiling with two skylights and two sliding glass doors to the back porch ensure that natural light is never in short supply. An office (or another bedroom), with custom built-ins and sitting bench (with storage) is just off the foyer through the double, glass pocket doors.
The master bedroom is enormous, includes a gorgeous tray ceiling, and features the other side of the see-through fireplace from the living room perfect for eliminating the chill of those chilly fall / winter mornings. A large, bright, and open master bath with doorless walk-in shower, seamless tile, and garden tub, overlooks the back yard and includes plantation shutters for ample privacy.
Nestled in the beautifully landscaped Foy Plantation neighborhood with mature trees throughout, this home is just a mile from Scott's Hill Marina on the intracoastal waterway, making it a dream for those looking to spend time on the water or at many local islands and sandbars. Lea-Hutaff Island is a favorite for surfing, boogie boarding, fishing, and shelling with whelk shells and sand dollars all over. A 21' Carolina Skiff (2016) is for sale separately, if interested. Newly paved roads in 2024 provide ample smooth surfaces for kids (or the kid in us) to enjoy skateboarding, scootering, rollerblading, etc.
Oh, did we mention the backyard?
Practical perks? This home has those too. A reverse osmosis water filtration system is installed under the kitchen sink and in both full baths, ensuring crisp, clean water. Even better? These systems are serviced in perpetuity at no cost by Kinetico. Irrigation keeps the landscaping in the front and back lush and low-maintenance, while the dual-zone HVAC ensures comfort throughout the seasons. Recent upgrades include newly replaced skylight windows in the Finished Room Over Garage (FROG), adding even more natural light to this versatile space. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring granite countertops, a mini-subway tile backsplash, and a gas range a must-have for home chefs. And for added convenience, most of the furniture can convey at the buyer's request, making your move-in process that much smoother.
The final cherry on top is a $3,000 lender credit for use of our preferred lender. Contact listing agent for details. This home offers coastal living at its finest. Don't wait, schedule your showing with us today!
