Description

Award winning Dogwood Design and Development presents this private, serene, and completely reimagined 1 acre creek front retreat offering a rare blend of design, space and setting. From the moment you enter, soaring cathedral ceilings with custom beams create a dramatic yet inviting living space, anchored by beautifully refinished original oak floors. The heart of the home is a stunning, oversized kitchen featuring quartz countertops, a custom wood range hood, a 48 inch gas stove and thoughtfully curated finishes that balance warmth and sophistication. A newly added primary suite showcases exceptional design with a custom tile bathroom, designer vanity, and an expansive walk-in closet. The primary bedroom itself is a true retreat with high ceilings and serene views overlooking the creek. Located in the established tree lined Forest Hills area in the sought after Beaumont neighborhood is all the charm and privacy you have been waiting for. There is an adorable bridge over the spring fed creek that brings you even more land! It truly feels like a private nature preserve in your own back yard with a family of bad owls, blue birds, blue herons, wood ducks, deer, turtles, and crawdads. A private side porch just off the kitchen creates the perfect space for quiet mornings or even gatherings. Every detail has been intentionally curated to maximize both function and style. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated home with character, privacy, and elevated design in a truly special setting. You are just minutes from historic downtown, the hospital, 15 minutes from Wrightsville beach tucked into a private sought-after enclave. Please make sure buyers are pre-approved before showings.
