Welcome to River Run Plantation, a beautiful coastal community set on the mouth of the Lockwood Folly River and centrally located near the sandy beaches of Oak Island and downtown Southport. Set on a beautifully private double homesite overlooking a deep, spring-fed pond, this property offers a rare combination of natural beauty and craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal stands out featuring a circular drive, mature trees, an immaculate detached oversized 2 car garage, and a whimsical, inviting setting that feels tucked away yet accessible. A classic southern style wide welcoming rocking chair front porch sets the tone, leading into a home filled with character and quality materials. Throughout most of the home, you'll find authentic heart pine flooring reclaimed from historic tobacco barns in Brunswick County, adding warmth and a story you simply can't replicate. The great room is spacious and inviting, anchored by a beautifully crafted brick fireplace and complemented by 9-foot ceilings throughout. The layout flows naturally into the kitchen and dining area, creating a comfortable and functional everyday living space. The kitchen is both practical and distinctive, featuring hickory cabinetry, a wired center island, attractive tile backsplash, and a pantry with built-ins. A standout detail is the custom woodwork highlighted by a beautiful mantel and island top crafted from reclaimed wood sourced from the Cape Fear River. The laundry room is conveniently located just off the kitchen. Just beyond the dining area, a heated and cooled all-glass sunroom creates a true extension of the home, perfectly positioned to capture elevated views over the pond. Built on a full concrete foundation and finished with a pickled beadboard ceiling, this space offers year-round enjoyment. The adjacent Trex deck and paver walkways continue the seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The split bedroom floor plan provides privacy, with the primary suite located at the rear of the home. The primary bath features a spacious tiled shower with a frameless half-glass door, heat lamps, and dual vanities. Guest bedrooms are generously sized, including a front bedroom with built-ins, offering flexibility for office or guest use. Additional interior highlights include built-in closet systems throughout, unique door hardware, fresh interior paint, and abundant attic storage with multiple pull-down access points. The detached garage is connected by a covered breezeway and features an epoxy-coated floor along with substantial storage above. Under the home, the encapsulated crawlspace is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, complete with a dehumidification system providing peace of mind and long-term durability. Major updates and systems include a roof replaced in 2020, newer appliances, updated well irrigation system, whole-house charcoal filtration system, recently replaced smoke detectors, and a septic system that has been inspected and pumped. A transferable termite bond with Manning's Pest Control is also in place. Importantly, the property benefits from a FEMA Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA), confirming that the home is not located within a high-risk flood instead zoned in the best you can be on the coast Zone X, a 500-year flood plain. If you are searching for a truly immaculate well-maintained home, with an unbelievable setting and a park like atmosphere you have found it!
