Welcome home to Monterey Heights and this newly remodeled brick ranch situated high on a natural wooded lot. Upon arrival you will be greeted by a beautiful, majestic live oak tree sitting on over a third an acre of land. This hard to find 3 bedroom and 2 full baths home has stonework accents beautifully integrated on the front facade as well as the patio. Countless updates include LVP flooring and fresh neutral colors throughout, an open floor plan and new lighting fixtures. A cozy double sided fireplace surrounded by local historic granite welcomes you in the living room and family room/den. The kitchen features a sunny breakfast nook with sliding glass doors allowing light to fill the entire space through to the living room. Expansive granite countertops provide space for cooking and entertaining with family and friends, while white cabinets are sure to please. Off the kitchen is a separate family room which serves as a great bonus/flex area and a dedicated laundry room. Down the hall leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 spa-like bathrooms each with custom tile features. The huge backyard features a large deck ready for entertaining, a newly painted shed for all your storage needs, partial fencing already in place, and best of all hard to find privacy. Enjoy a short walk to Monterey Heights Park to use the walking trail, multiple playground stations, greenspace perfect for your pet and even a covered shelter perfect for cookouts. The other direction takes you to River Road Park where you can fish from the docks or even launch your boat into the Cape Fear River. And if this wasn't enough, enjoy low county taxes, no HOA dues and regulations and about a 5 minute drive to the beach! This home will not last long. Make an appointment today!
