About this House

RARE waterfront lifestyle offering that includes TWO deep-water, deeded boat slips! Both slips are adjacent--Slips #81 and #82, with one being on the corner, featuring a boat lift.

This amazing updated end-unit has beautiful water views with over $100,000 in improvements completed within the last 48 months. This townhome features 1,764 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, with two gas fireplaces for the enjoyment of the upcoming cozy nights.

Inside, the home has been extensively refreshed with whole-house interior painting, 6-inch crown molding throughout, luxury LVP flooring in the main living areas, plush carpet in all three bedrooms, plantation blinds throughout, and updated light fixtures.

All three full bathrooms have been upgraded with new showers, vanities, and toilets, with two baths featuring beautiful stone-tiled walls for an added custom touch.

The kitchen comes with all appliances, including a newer over-the-range multi-function microwave offering convection oven, air-fry, air-roast, and additional cooking features, along with a new garbage disposal.

Major improvements also include new plumbing throughout the home using PEX and SharkBite connections; new ductwork, boots, and thermostat; and hot water heater.

Additional improvements include a new front door with storm door; new garage door; New architectural-shingle roof; new flooring on the second-floor deck; Venting of attic, freshly painted exterior railings and steps; and new rear fencing.

Whether enjoying the community pool, boating, fishing, cruising the waterways, or simply enjoying life by the water is part of your dream, having two slips creates flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find.

End-unit privacy. Water views. Two deep-water slips. A boat lift. $100,000 in recent improvements. 3 bedrooms. 3 full baths. Fenced patio. Two fireplaces. This is not just a townhome--it is an opportunity to own the coastal boating lifestyle in a Sneads Ferry community that rarely has offerings. Schedule your private viewing today!

    "12 miles from work using a car as there is no public transportation available in the area. Commute includes state roads and Hwy 17"
  • Bcaddell21
    "School system pretty good. Very safe area, and all 3 schools very close by. Very relaxed, quite, and comfortable area. Would recommend this area to anyone wanting small quite place to call home!!"
  • Mrmathe3
    "It’s a cute beach town with friendly people. It doesn’t get too crowded in the summer unlike some neighboring beaches"
  • Meggylou
    "Great small town community. Friendly people, plenty of parks and outdoor activity (beaches, parks, docs, etc.). A few cute shops in town as well as surrounding towns. A couple nice bars with more summer activity than winter, but Wilmington is close and has a great night life and excellent shopping. Almost no traffic, great access to all the bases in the area. Neighborhoods have a fun community feeling. There are some really great local churches as well. "
  • bfunk44
    "Far enough from base(s) to enjoy quiet living, close enough to commute to either MCAS or Camp Lejeune. Easy drive down Hwy 17 for a nice dinner in Wilmington."
  • Shannon P.
    "I was stationed at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune and my daughter's best friend lived in this neighborhood. All occupants in neighborhood were very friendly. Area is very clean and has nice amenities. :) We got stationed in San Antonio, but I would love to buy a home and retire in this neighborhood!"
  • Carol K.
    "Quiet coastal community just off Topsail Island and the intercoastal. Located between Wilmington and Jacksonville. Limited local shopping, but if you like the beach, boating and fishing, this is a great location."
  • Gkirkman336
    "We own a home in this area. Great neighbors and a fantastic place to live. Fishing, boating, swimming. How many can say the ocean is right around the corner. Watch the helicopters practice landing and the Marine boats practice on the sound along with the Coast Gaurd boats. And all this is going on at the same time you are fishing. "
  • rikwvu
    "I LIVE IN THIS AREA - GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD, LOTS OF AMENITIES ANDTHE BEACH IS LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AWAY. GORGEOUS VIEWS FROM MANY PONDS AND THE INLAND WATERWAY"
