Welcome to this charming 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offering comfort, versatility, and abundant natural light in the highly sought-after community of St. James Plantation. Step inside to an inviting open-concept main level where soaring ceilings and sun-filled spaces create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The foyer opens to a formal dining room and a spacious living room, where a cozy gas fireplace serves as the focal point--perfect for gathering with family and friends. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers privacy and flexibility. One wing of the home features the primary retreat along with a versatile office or craft room. The opposite side hosts the kitchen, a bright eat-in area, convenient half bath, and an additional sitting room that flows effortlessly onto a spacious screened porch--an ideal spot for relaxing or enjoying the coastal breeze. Upstairs, you'll find an additional bedroom, full bath, and a generous bonus/flex room that can easily accommodate extra guests or additional sleeping space. A walk-in attic provides excellent options. Recent updates include fresh interior paint throughout the main level (February 2026), and the home is equipped with irrigation to maintain the beautifully landscaped yard. Buyers also have the opportunity to activate a club membership within 30 days of closing at the current rate, avoiding the additional $10,000 activation fee. Residents of St. James Plantation enjoy an exceptional lifestyle with amenities including four championship 18-hole golf courses, tennis and pickleball courts, multiple pools, walking and nature trails, restaurants, a full-service marina, and a private beach club on Oak Island. All of this is just a short drive from the charming shops, dining, and waterfront views of historic Southport.
