An exceptional 5-bedroom, natural gas residence in Congleton Farms that raises the bar for refined coastal living in South Wilmington's most sought-after community. From the moment you arrive, the extra-deep covered front porch makes a statement, overlooking serene sidewalks and open land across the street -- a rare find that creates a wonderful sense of openness and breathing room. Step inside through an elegant foyer framed by classic arched doorways, where thoughtful design and quality finishes greet you at every turn. The open floor plan flows effortlessly across the main level, perfectly balancing everyday comfort with elevated entertaining. A dedicated private office with wainscoting and French doors offers an ideal work-from-home retreat. The sun-filled sunroom/gathering room adds even more versatile living space. The heart of the home is a showstopping chef's kitchen featuring white soft-close cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, a 4-burner gas range with exhaust hood, a built-in electric double oven with built-in microwave, a tiled backsplash, and a spacious island with a farmhouse sink and built-in water filtration. A large walk-in pantry and convenient powder room round out the main level beautifully. The living room centers around a cozy natural gas fireplace beneath a soaring trey ceiling -- the ideal gathering space no matter the season. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat: generous in size with a trey ceiling, spa-inspired en suite featuring a large tiled walk-in shower, double vanities, dedicated linen closet, water closet, and an oversized walk-in closet designed to impress. Upstairs, a versatile bonus room with closet serves equally well as a second family room, media room, or fifth bedroom, accompanied by additional bedrooms and multiple closets throughout. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is an entertainer's dream -- featuring two expansive patios and a pergola that set the perfect scene for weekend cookouts, gatherings, or simply unwinding under the Carolina sky. The laundry room with cabinetry and the 2-car garage -- complete with a Tesla charger hookup, utility sink, and on-demand tankless natural gas water heater -- deliver the kind of thoughtful extras that truly set this home apart. Congleton Farms is more than a neighborhood -- it's a lifestyle. Neighbors gather at the firepit, cool off at the community pool, and enjoy the playground, while the walkable sidewalks invite morning strolls, evening bike rides, and spontaneous conversations that turn into lasting friendships. It's the kind of community where book clubs form, block gatherings happen naturally, and people genuinely love where they live. All of this with the added benefit of county-only taxes, nestled in the heart of the popular Monkey Junction area -- just minutes from Carolina Beach, the Intracoastal Waterway, Wrightsville Beach, and the dining, shopping, and charm of historic Downtown Wilmington.
