Property Description

Tucked away on the outside edge of Southport, this meticulously maintained 3+-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers comfort, convenience, and a peaceful setting in the tranquil Rivermist at Dutchman's Creek community. Just minutes from charming Downtown Southport and the many unique shops, delicious restaurants and coastal activities, as well as minutes from the sandy shores of Oak Island. Nestled midway between the two, this location allows quick, easy access to both and is one of the best in the area. The bright and inviting entry opens to a spacious living area that flows seamlessly into the kitchen and adjoining eat-in space with a half bath on the main level, creating an easy layout for everyday living and entertaining. Updated dark stainless appliances complete the extra-large kitchen with new backsplash and dark cherry cabinets along with ceramic tile and hardwood floors adorning the main floor. The main living areas are located on the first floor, while all three bedrooms plus extra office/bonus room, two full baths and laundry room are upstairs for added privacy. Ceramic tile floors and new carpet throughout the upstairs enhance the cozy, private living area. An oversized two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, storage and more. Step out on to the large screened back porch overlooking a wooded backdrop--a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. A new hurricane fortified roof was just installed on the home in August 2026. Rivermist community amenities include a pool, fitness center, game room, tennis & pickleball courts, and meeting room, along with maintenance of common areas and roads and community management. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a coastal getaway, this pristinely kept, inviting home offers an ideal blend of tranquility and proximity to everything Southport and Oak Island have to offer.
