8504 Lakeview DR Wilmington, NC 28412

***This is the listing you've been hoping to see!*** Freshly updated and welcoming, this home ticks off all the boxes: an easy living floorplan with most heated footage on one level; bonus room over a 2-car garage; covered porch and open deck; large lot with rear fencing and dual gates... PLUS new solid core LVP flooring, paint, fixtures, and appliances! Roof was replaced in 2019, and home is on a crawlspace (making any future updates that much simpler)! For 1932 sq ft, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has a surprisingly livable layout...particularly with the bonus room! New carpet and padding, lighting, and fresh paint make it a fun and comfortable flex space; but if you need a 4th bedroom, there's plenty of room up there with a large storage closet and a window that qualifies for egress. And as for location, locals already know The Cape is a beautiful, well-established neighborhood with inviting streets for walking, biking, dog-walking, and mingling with your neighbors. The two entrances off River Rd are gated for residents' use only, and this home is situated conveniently between both. Sport fields, walking paths, and three schools are 3 miles away; it's only 4 miles to Pleasure Island with the southern beaches; 3.4 miles to River Rd park and boat ramp; and of course the southern end of New Hanover County has groceries, services, produce stands, marinas, retail, restaurants, and more! Why pay city taxes when life is so good this side of Monkey Junction? We know it's been a tough season for buyers...but this home was worth waiting for! Welcome home...just in time for the holidays!
