This two-story 2008 home sits on Catherine Lake Road outside of a subdivision, offering privacy and the ease of a paved public road with off-street parking and no HOA restrictions. The layout favors everyday living and entertaining: a formal dining area opens toward the living room, where a gas-log fireplace anchors gatherings. Durable LVP flooring runs through main circulation spaces, while carpeted bedrooms provide softness and quiet upstairs.
The kitchen is practical and well-equipped, featuring modern appliances and a pantry for organized storage. The floorplan flows to a covered front porch and a patio at the rear—both extend the living area outdoors for grilling, morning coffee, or quiet evenings. A fully fenced backyard creates a secure play area for pets and children and simplifies entertaining under the stars.
Upstairs you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and the primary suite with a dedicated walk-in shower. Mechanical comfort is addressed by a heat pump and central air, and the home taps community water while relying on an on-site septic system. The combination of sensible finishes—LVP and carpet—and functional systems makes this a turnkey option for buyers seeking a low-maintenance place to call home.
Practical location is part of the appeal: this property is minutes from Richlands for daily errands and an easy commute to Jacksonville and Camp Lejeune, ideal for military families or commuters seeking a quieter lot without sacrificing accessibility. Whether you’re looking for a first home, a downsizing solution, or a solid rental opportunity, this property blends practical features with a comfortable footprint and clear value at the listed price.
Richlands offers small-town convenience with quick access to larger regional centers. Residents enjoy local shops, restaurants, and services in downtown Richlands, while Jacksonville’s broader retail and employment options—and the military installations at Camp Lejeune—are an easy drive. The area delivers a quieter, more rural-feeling lifestyle with practical proximity to coastal recreation and regional highways, making it popular with commuters and families seeking value outside denser suburbs.
This listing is competitively priced at $289,900, which aligns with the automated valuation midpoint and positions it attractively among similar single-family homes in the Richlands area. Homes in commuter-oriented pockets near Jacksonville and Camp Lejeune typically receive steady interest—properties that are well-maintained and offered with realistic pricing often move faster than older, heavily updated comparables. Inventory in small-town markets like Richlands can fluctuate, but turnkey 3-bedroom homes without HOA constraints generally appeal to a broad buyer pool: military families, first-time buyers, and investors. For buyers, now is a reasonable time to consider this property because it presents a balance of condition and price; for sellers, listings that clearly convey practical systems (heat pump, community water, septic) and outdoor functionality (fenced yard, covered porch) tend to see stronger showings. Work with your agent to review recent sold comps within Onslow County and to monitor days-on-market trends locally to time offers and negotiations.
Good regional access to parks, lakes, and coastal recreation within a short drive; neighborhood streets work well for daily walks and casual biking.
