From the moment you drive up to the beautiful two story home, you can't help but feel like all your Pinterest dreams have come true. Shapely bushes ensure year round curb appeal. Gorgeous roses, day lilies, & butterfly bushes burst vibrantly onto the scene in the spring.

A small grove of trees flank both sides of the home, providing natural privacy & separation from the neighbors. From spring to fall, you can watch butterflies flitting about the garden from the rocking chair front porch, the setting sun painting the sky pink & red above the forest of Holly Shelter, across the street. Through the entryway, cool toned white nickel-gap wood siding (shiplap style) lines the hallway, wrapping around to custom built-in shelving. A modern farmhouse door slides across the built-ins to display a generous pantry.

This kitchen has a plethora of extra tall, staggered height cabinets. Slide out shelving keeps all the mixing bowls neatly organized. Stainless steel appliances & granite countertops make for a chef's delight. A single slab of granite (no seams!) sits atop the large kitchen island. Warm red-toned hardwood floors span the entire first floor.

Between the living room & kitchen is a massive space for a dining table. A large Edwards Antique Bronze & Crystal chandelier anchors the space. The impressive living room is both spacious & cozy. Shiplap style wall treatment sits above the fireplace with a black granite hearth, drawing your eye up to the 9 foot ceiling. Mount your TV on the pre-wired entertainment center, so all cords are out of sight.

The flex room is the perfect location for a playroom, formal dining room, or office. It's a really beautiful room, featuring double windows, coffered ceilings, picture-frame wainscoting, & a thick chair rail.

All 4 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms are located on the 2nd floor. The master bedroom with a cathedral ceiling is massive, featuring adult height cultured marble counter tops & oil rubbed bronze fixtures. Plus there's a big soaking tub & stand alone shower with seat. Through the master bath is a gigantic walk-in closet.

2 of the bedrooms are standard in size, but with large closets. The 3rd bedroom is really big & features a walk-in closet. So many closets! Two closets in the hallway & a 3rd in the large laundry room make storage a breeze, plus more storage with the pull down access attic.

The 2 car garage has 3 overhead storage racks, a pulley system to hang bikes, & a big peg board. The interior of this home is just incredible, but the outside is even better, if that's possible. Flood lights on the rear of the roof light up the yard. A custom screened in porch was designed with kids & pets in mind. It has a white vinyl skirt, screen door grill, & plexiglas panels to fully protect the screened-porch from the wildest creatures.

A patio flows the entire width of the home, giving you the most amazing entertainment space. Set up patio furniture & a table on one side of the screened in porch, & your BBQ grill, smoker, & comfy chairs on the other side.

Sitting on a half acre lot, it's positioned in a way that makes the best use of the land, with the backyard especially vast. It's fully surrounded by a 6 foot privacy fence with a standard gate on one side a double gate on the other (boat storage made easy!). Like the front yard, the back yard has been entirely landscaped by skilled professionals, with a focus on low maintenance care. Crape myrtle trees, butterfly bushes, & evergreen shrubs surround the patio. Even the lawn has been upgraded to zoysia empire grass, which is soft to bare feet, durable to foot traffic, & a lovely shade of deep green. A large garden features: 2 raised beds, raspberry & bluberry bushes, garden shed, & a custom oscillating sprinkler programmed into the irrigation system, all surrounded by a white picket fence. Maple & oak trees flow around the perimeter, creating an incredible amount of privacy for the majority of the year. Zoom your riding lawn mower into the big shed that sits on a cement slab in the corner.

Nestled in the back of the property in the "forest" area, a firepit is surrounded by benches & twinkle lights. No maintenance rose bushes bloom next to the pavers in the summer, adding even more enchantment. One of the really special features of this yard is a big solid, custom deck with locking gate. Simply fill up your above ground pool next to the deck, & your summer will be filled with cannon ball splashes & pool playdates galore. An additional ground level deck features white picket fence accents & a playhouse.

Other features include: pest control tubing in the exterior walls, gutters in the front & back, security system with motion detector & contact sensors on all entry doors, pre-wire surround sound in living room, pre-plumbed for a water softener, low energy windows & a private well. The home sits high no storm or hurricane damage or flooding.

Pinnacle Ridge is an intimate community with low HOA dues, large lots, & thick groves of trees. Nestled next to Holly Shelter Game Lands, it's just 20 minutes to Stone Bay & the back gate of Camp Lejeune, a short drive to Jacksonville, & 20 minutes to Wilmington. Topsail Island is 10-15 minutes away & public boat launches are close too. Shopping, restaurants, & Wrightsville Beach are just 20-30 minutes up the road. It's districted for the brand new Surf City Elementary & Surf City Middle School (part of the highly rated Topsail school district).

A home this beautiful, with this many upgrades, in this price range, is about as common as Leap Year. Call me for a tour because it won't last long!
