Back on the market through no fault of the seller--and still a whole lot of house for the money in Mimosa Bay. With 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, a bonus room, and 3,527 heated square feet, this home gives you plenty of space without wasting it. The floor plan is one of the best parts. The main-level owner's suite includes a soaking tub, separate shower, and custom closet system that's basically the organizational equivalent of a personal assistant. There's also a second bedroom and full bath downstairs, perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or anyone who would rather not make the trip upstairs. The kitchen is built for real life, with plenty of cabinets and counter space, a pantry, and appliances that convey. You'll also find a formal dining room, mudroom, and propane fireplace for the handful of days each year southeastern North Carolina remembers it's supposed to have winter. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two full baths, and a bonus room ready for whatever your household needs next: office, gym, media room, hobby space, playroom, or somewhere to send everyone when you need five minutes of peace. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers room to play, relax, or entertain. The deck has a dedicated propane hookup for the grill, so running out of propane halfway through dinner can officially become someone else's problem. The storage shed conveys, along with the refrigerator, washer, dryer, and garage refrigerator. If you grew up believing people with a garage fridge were rich, congratulations. You've arrived. The HVAC was replaced in 2018 and the water heater in 2022. HOA dues are just $111.11 per month, and even with county water, the home goes a step further with a Culligan reverse osmosis and water softener system. A termite bond and LeafFilter gutter protection add a few more things to the already-taken-care-of list. And then there's Mimosa Bay. The clubhouse, pool, and fitness center are right down the street, while the gated community also offers tennis courts, a playground, boat and RV storage, and a private boat ramp with access to the Intracoastal Waterway. A golf cart isn't required, but don't be surprised if you start shopping for one. Back on the market, vacant, and easy to show. If your wish list is getting out of hand, this might be your house.
