About this House

We loved this one so much we gave it a nickname: Primrose Cottage. And unlike the old Marine Corps saying, we actually DO promise you a rose garden, or at the very least, the backyard space to grow one.

Nestled beneath a canopy of grand mature oaks on a private half-acre in Jacksonville, NC, this renovated 3 bedroom cottage delivers the rare combination of genuine renovation quality, outdoor living space, and an unbeatable location. No HOA and county taxes only.

The kitchen and bathroom were both taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt with new cabinets, new fixtures, new plumbing fittings, and finishes that feel far more expensive than the asking price. New luxury vinyl plank flooring flows through the main living and dining areas, with carpet in all three bedrooms. Every wall inside and out has been freshly painted, and a stainless side-by-side refrigerator and water purification system conveys with the home.

The 20-foot covered front porch is everything a Southern cottage porch should be: shaded, wide, and ready for a swing and a slow morning. Out back, a paver patio steps down to an open, lush lawn framed by a natural ring of trees for privacy, with room to garden, build a fire pit, or simply breathe. A detached garage/workshop with its own vehicle bay and side entry door adds valuable utility for hobbyists, storage, and weekend projects.

Additional peace-of-mind features include a new roof (2022).

Commuters will appreciate the central location, with MCAS New River, Stone Bay, Coast Guard Training Facility and Camp Lejeune all within easy reach. No city tax burden and no HOA fees to factor into monthly costs, which is a meaningful advantage for VA, USDA and FHA buyers watching their bottom line.

Primrose Cottage is move-in ready, priced to sell this summer, and waiting for the family that will love her as much as her sellers did. Schedule your showing today. Cottages this charming do not last.

    "It’s shocking seeing rent become so high in certain neighborhoods in Jacksonville. I have never in a million years thought I’d see duplexes in New River going for $1100! And Town Center apartments being over $1300 a month! That is ridiculous. Rentals in that area were between 550-700. That is so sad."

    "It’s mind blowing to see Jacksonville’s rent prices skyrocket. Duplexes surrounding the New River neighborhood use to be 595-700 a month and now they are in the high 900’s and 1,000’s. That is so sad. I never thought I’d see the day where rentals on Starling St and York St and other streets are 1000-1200. That is RIDICULOUS for that area."
