Spacious Cul-de-Sac Home on 0.43-Acre Lot Near Beaches
This Stonington home stands out for its rare lot: one of the largest in the community, tucked at the end of a quiet cul‑de‑sac and extending beyond an existing six‑foot privacy fence. The extra‑deep backyard feels private because there are no neighbors directly behind the property, and it’s been configured for outdoor life — an extra‑large deck, gazebo, fire‑pit area and an exterior shower create a backyard that functions like an extension of the living space. A full irrigation system keeps both front and rear landscaping green without the weekend chore list.
Inside, the two‑story footprint places the primary suite on the main level for convenience and accessibility. The primary bathroom is appointed with a tiled walk‑in shower and the suite includes a roomy walk‑in closet. Across the 1,686 square feet you’ll find three bedrooms, two and a half baths and thoughtful circulation that separates private and communal spaces. The home includes A/C and an attached two‑car garage.
Location is a strong, practical advantage: roughly 15 minutes to Carolina Beach, 15 minutes to downtown Wilmington and about 12 minutes to the UNCW campus, with The Pointe at Barclay less than three miles away for groceries, restaurants and a movie theater. Low HOA fees and placement within the Pine Valley Elementary and Hoggard High School districts make this a practical pick for families and buyers who want coastal proximity without premium beachfront pricing.
Whether you’re grilling from the gazebo, tending a garden irrigated automatically, or enjoying the privacy of a rear yard that backs to open space, this property delivers an uncommon combination of lot size, outdoor amenities and location. It’s a house that works for everyday life and for weekend escapes to the beach or the riverfront downtown.

This listing is priced at the valuation midpoint of $315,000, matching the broker list price and reflecting a price-per-square-foot of about $187. The automated estimate carries a moderate confidence (0.65), which suggests comparable sales and local adjustments closely informed the value but that an agent‑level CMA is still valuable. In the Wilmington area, single‑family homes with sizeable lots and easy beach access remain desirable for owner‑occupiers and families; features such as a large private lot, low HOA fees and a first‑floor primary suite typically command a premium over smaller‑lot alternatives. Inventory in suburban pockets like Pine Valley/Stonington can be variable; large‑lot homes on cul‑de‑sacs are less frequent and often attract quicker interest when brought to market. Buyers should note the list price aligns with automated market signals, while sellers should expect competitive interest from buyers prioritizing outdoor space and proximity to Carolina Beach, downtown Wilmington, and UNCW. For precise current days‑on‑market and inventory figures, consult a local MLS report or your agent, as these metrics shift seasonally.
