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.

    "Traffic can be a pain on Western with all of the lights but the city is easy to navigate and most needed items are in close proximity. "
  • Will Langan
    "The County fair and Mikes Farm seasonal events. Besides that this area is only good for fishing, tattoos and strip clubs."
  • Jeremy G
    "The schools are close by and there are so many activities hosted by the staff at Hunter Creek Elementary School throughout the year. This community really shows up to support the kids. The Farm at Hunters Creek has been great to our family. "
  • Sofian Dandashi
    "This is a very nice area with very friendly people and plenty to do, particularly if you like the outdoor. One of my favorite place to take long walks is Richard Ray Park"
  • Jennifer Poulin
    "Schools are dangerous. Literally can risk burying your child by sending them to public school. If you don't own a car you're out of luck. And if your not military or a native and wealthy with farm land your garbage and no one cares "
  • Monica
    "Itโ€™s shocking seeing rent become so high in certain neighborhoods in Jacksonville. I have never in a million years thought Iโ€™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."
  • Kai M.
    "Itโ€™s mind blowing to see Jacksonvilleโ€™s rent prices skyrocket. Duplexes surrounding the New River neighborhood use to be 595-700 a month and now they are in the high 900โ€™s and 1,000โ€™s. That is so sad. I never thought Iโ€™d see the day where rentals on Starling St and York St and other streets are 1000-1200. That is RIDICULOUS for that area."
  • Alisha Harrison
    "I love living in Jacksonville. A beautiful and unique place to live. People here are surprisingly very nice and not very many rude people that I have ran across. Iโ€™m so glad I made the choice to move here!!"

  • Trulia User
    "I'm not aware of community events besides Halloween but the people are friendly and there is a few schools very close to the actual neighborhood.
