About the property

Farmhouse on 0.5-Acre with Screened Porch & Golf Views

What sets 51 Eagles Roost apart is its setting: a classic farmhouse silhouette positioned on a generous half-acre lot with a screened-in back porch that looks directly over the 14th hole of Carolina Lakes Golf Course. The porch becomes an everyday vantage point for watching golfers pass and evenings that stretch long in the backyard; the fenced lawn gives kids and pets room to roam. Expansive front and rear porches anchor the home’s approachable curb appeal and speak to the property’s emphasis on outdoor living.

Inside, recent updates make the house feel refreshed without erasing its original charm. The kitchen was redesigned with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, creating a clean, durable center for daily life. Hardwood floors run through much of the main level; upstairs, new luxury carpet provides warmth and quiet. Practical upgrades include new upstairs windows, a mini-split system serving the bonus room, and Leaf Filter gutters that reduce maintenance. A working fireplace adds year-round appeal.

The footprint offers flexibility: approximately 2,385 square feet across two stories, three bedrooms, and three full baths provide room for guests, home office setups, or multi-generational living. The two-car attached garage and driveway parking for additional vehicles make arrivals and storage straightforward. The composition roof and mechanical systems are serviceable but should be reviewed in inspection — standard diligence items for a 1987-built home.

Living in Carolina Lakes means lifestyle amenities are part of the address. This gated community includes a marina, man-made beach, clubhouse, tennis and basketball courts, ball fields, nature trails, and disc golf — all within a short ride. Commuters will appreciate 20-minute access to Fort Bragg, 30 minutes to Southern Pines/Pinehurst, and convenient connections into Sanford. Whether you’re pursuing a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or an investment with solid rental demand, this renovated farmhouse pairs acreage and community amenities in a rare package.

Editorial market perspective

Carolina Lakes is functioning as a balanced market today with about three months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 45 — neither strongly in buyers’ nor sellers’ favor. Recent comparable sales within a half-mile show transactions between $375,000 and $425,000, supporting a midpoint valuation around $400,000 ($168/SF). The broader local median sale price sits near $285,000, and the neighborhood has experienced modest appreciation (≈5% over the past year, ≈20% over five years). Single-family homes with community amenities and recent updates perform best here and typically receive more buyer attention than older, unrenovated stock. For buyers, the current conditions offer a stable entry point where well-updated homes—like this one with a renovated kitchen and recent windows—can command a premium and minimize near-term capital expenditures. For investors, rental comps and a rent estimate near $2,000/month indicate reasonable cashflow potential with strong local demand driven by military and family renters. Key diligence items to confirm before purchase include roof condition, HOA rules and fees, and permit histories for the renovations.
