Built in an era when homes were made with solid construction in mind, this brick ranch has been thoughtfully taken down to the studs and updated from the inside out. Located in Boiling Spring Lakes, you're positioned between historic Southport and Wilmington, each approximately 20 minutes away. The community offers plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors and stay connected, including 18-hole, championship-caliber golf at The Lakes Golf Club, just five minutes away and designed by George Riccaboni, along with tennis, parks, natural springs, playgrounds, picnic pavilions and, when available, access to the big lake. Oak Island beaches, restaurants, recreation, and everyday shopping are also just a short drive away. From the moment you arrive, the home welcomes you with classic brick and Hardie board exterior finishes and a cozy covered front porch. Above it all, a new metal roof provides a fresh finish and lasting appeal. Inside, the transformation is extensive. Enjoy tile and laminate flooring throughout (no carpet!), a beautifully updated kitchen with granite countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and new stainless steel appliances, including a disposal. Both bathrooms have been remodeled. The guest bath features tile flooring, a modern tub/shower enclosure and granite vanity, while the primary suite offers a walk-in shower, dual quartz vanity and walk-in closet. Additional highlights include a tankless water heater, remote-control ceiling fans, and a wood-burning fireplace with a recently inspected firebox and newly installed blower. The major improvements go well beyond cosmetics. HVAC installed in 2024 (manufactured in 2023), electrical updated from the meter inward, plumbing replaced from the stubs inward, new drywall, and so much more. Ask for the improvement list; it's extensive! Outside, the level quarter-acre lot offers a measure of privacy, room to enjoy the outdoors, and convenient walking access to nearby local amenities. There's also a 12 x 12 outdoor shop that remains in its original condition, offering an opportunity to bring your own ideas and give it a new lease on life. A revitalized classic, a convenient coastal-area location, and a seller willing to help make the numbers work. If you've been waiting for a home that brings together character, extensive updates, and a little more breathing room, this may be the opportunity you've been looking for. This one is worth a closer look! Read Less
