Welcome to a rare waterfront retreat on the Lockwood Folly River, where breathtaking sunsets, panoramic water views, and shrimp boats returning to Varnamtown become part of everyday life. Perfectly positioned on an exceptionally rare double lot totaling nearly an acre, this architect-designed home offers over 230 feet of direct water frontage and sweeping, unobstructed river views from nearly every angle. Blending timeless Southern charm with open, light-filled living, the home offers more than 3,700 square feet thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Large windows throughout capture gorgeous panoramic views and flood the home with natural light, while high ceilings and custom built-ins reflect quality craftsmanship. The kitchen has been beautifully remodeled and serves as the heart of the home, featuring gorgeous quartz countertops, a center island, multiple prep areas, new sinks, garbage disposals, and new stainless appliances including the refrigerator and dishwasher. Designed to both function and impress, it flows seamlessly into the main living spaces--all oriented toward the water. A formal dining room, expansive great room, and cozy family room provide multiple gathering spaces, each positioned to take full advantage of the incredible setting. The private primary suite is a true waterfront escape with sweeping river views, a spa-like bath, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional guest bedrooms, both with walk-in closets, offer comfort and privacy, while the large upstairs office overlooks both the dramatic two-story marble foyer and the serene backyard. Recent improvements enhance both style and peace of mind, including a new roof (April 2024), new 3-ton HVAC system, new carpet in both guest rooms, a renovated half bath, new flooring in the primary and guest bathrooms, and new wide-plank flooring extending from the laundry area through the kitchen to the back den windows. Sidewalk sections have also been leveled for improved access and curb appeal. Additional features include dual HVAC systems, two hot water heaters, a whole-house Generac generator, a spacious laundry/mud room with pantry, and three attic storage areas. Outside, mature landscaping, winding garden paths, and a private extended dock create an exceptional setting for boating, kayaking, fishing, or simply relaxing as the sun sets over the river. Located in River Run, a secluded waterfront community where the Lockwood Folly River meets the Intracoastal Waterway, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, nature, and coastal accessibility. Just minutes from Southport, 40 minutes to Wilmington, and about an hour to Myrtle Beach.
