Description

Surrounded by mature trees and a natural wooded buffer, this former model home offers the privacy increasingly difficult to find in newer communities--along with a location that makes it easy to enjoy everything The Bluffs on the Cape Fear has to offer. Lightly lived in as a second home, the property is conveniently positioned near the community entrance and just a short walk, bike ride, or golf cart trip from the lakefront clubhouse, restaurant, fitness center, and resort-style pool. A welcoming rocking chair front porch and courtyard-entry garage create an inviting first impression. Inside, engineered wood floors flow through the first-floor living areas, beginning with a formal dining room ready for holiday meals and gatherings. The bright, open kitchen features wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas range, and a breakfast nook, while the adjoining sunroom provides a peaceful setting for morning coffee, reading, or casual dining. The living room centers around a gas fireplace flanked by custom built-ins and opens directly to the screened porch, extending everyday living into the private backyard. Three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, are conveniently located on the main level, while the bonus room over the garage offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom, guest retreat, media room, or home office. A two-car garage and separate utility closet provide additional storage for bikes, boating equipment, and beach gear. Located along the Cape Fear River approximately 20 minutes from Downtown Wilmington, The Bluffs gives residents the freedom to enjoy the city, river, lakeside amenities, and ocean within one community lifestyle. Spend mornings walking or biking along eight miles of wooded trails, meeting friends for tennis or pickleball, exercising at the fitness center, fishing from the community lake pier, or relaxing beside the resort-style pool. The lakefront clubhouse offers a residents-only restaurant and bar, gathering areas, workout rooms, and inviting spaces overlooking the water. On the river, residents can explore the scenic boardwalk, 50-slip marina, and two-acre riverfront park with a boat and kayak launch, picnic pavilion, grilling stations, fire pits, lawn games, and fishing. When the ocean is calling, the community's private beach club on Oak Island provides dedicated parking, beach access, restrooms, showers, changing areas, a full kitchen, and a covered porch overlooking the ocean. From quiet mornings on the screened porch to afternoons on the water and evenings dining with neighbors at the clubhouse, this home offers an easy connection to nature, recreation, and community.
