Tucked away in the intimate community of Harborside, this beautifully maintained two-story home sits on a lush, 0.44 acre lot just minutes from the water. Ideally located less than a mile from Scotts Hill Marina and Sailfish Grill on the water, with no city taxes and just 23 minutes to Wrightsville Beach! Offering over 2,600 square feet, the home is beaming with character and natural light throughout. The formal dining room showcases beautiful paneling and coffered ceilings. The spacious, open living room features a gas-log fireplace and connects to a bright and airy breakfast nook and a gorgeous kitchen. The kitchen offers granite countertops, tile backsplash, an abundance of cabinetry and counter space, plus a new gas stove and double oven.
