Is it possible to find over 3,000 square feet of charm, character, and flexibility—plus a detached garage and private community perks—just minutes from the beaches of Oak Island and the heart of Southport? Yep... and this one checks every box. Nestled on a lush and private .54-acre lot in the peaceful Winding Creek community, this inviting home is surrounded by mature trees and offers a sliver of creek views that lead toward the Intracoastal Waterway—a subtle reminder that you're never far from the coast. The wide, shady porches (both front and back!) are perfect for rocking chairs, ceiling fans, and slow mornings with your favorite book. A paved drive leads to a detached 6-car garage with over 400 sqft of conditioned space—perfect for a gym, office, creative studio, or extra storage.
Inside the home, the main level welcomes you with painted beadboard ceilings, a statement fireplace, and a bright, open layout full of farmhouse-style warmth. You'll also find a spacious kitchen with an island and bar seating, a dedicated laundry room, a full bath, and a large flex room (with no closet)—ideal for guests, a playroom, second living area, or even the potential for a future main-level bedroom suite.
Upstairs, the oversized primary retreat includes dual sinks, a jetted soaking tub, and a walk-in closet so spacious it could double as a dressing room. Two more bedrooms offer generous size and comfort, while the third floor features a bonus suite with its own full bath—perfect for long-term guests, a home office, teen hangout, or media room.
Out back, you'll find a peaceful blend of sunshine and shade—great for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying nature in your own private retreat. And with a private boat ramp, day dock, walking trails, and a gazebo overlooking the water, Winding Creek offers an incredible lifestyle for just $55/month in HOA dues—and no city taxes. This is coastal Carolina living at its finest—ready to welcome you home.
