Contemporary 4-Bed Home with Intracoastal Access and Amenities
From the street, 531 Moss Lake Lane reads as a quietly modern statement: crisp lines, thoughtful proportions and a 61-foot frontage that opens to a level, fenced backyard. Built in 2022, this contemporary 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home delivers 3,252 square feet of living space tailored for both everyday life and entertaining. Walk through the front door and you feel the considered scale — a formal dining room crowned with coffered ceilings gives way to a generous open gathering area anchored by a fireplace.
The kitchen serves as the heart of the home: granite countertops meet stainless steel appliances and an arrangement that supports meal prep for a crowd or casual weeknight dinners. A practical mudroom and attached 2-car garage keep the busy side of life organized, while the screened porch extends living outdoors year-round. Step beyond the porch to a fenced backyard with an irrigation system — ideal for pets, play, or a future garden.
Upstairs the bedrooms are proportioned with comfort and privacy in mind. The primary suite includes en-suite facilities, and additional bedrooms share well-appointed baths. Systems are modern — central AC and a heat pump keep the house efficient and comfortable, and the overall condition of the home is excellent, reflecting its recent construction and conscientious ownership since 2022.
Living here means access to the Summerhouse on Everett Bay lifestyle. The gated community’s clubhouse, pool, fitness center and tennis courts are close by; more active days lead to the community’s access to the Intracoastal Waterway or a short drive to Topsail Island’s beaches. Commuters and weekend explorers will also note Wilmington is about 30 miles away.
This property is a compelling option for buyers seeking a low-maintenance, contemporary home with resort-style amenities and near-coastal recreation. Important due diligence items include HOA covenants, flood-zone verification and a professional inspection. Bring your checklist and your measuring tape — 531 Moss Lake Lane is ready to be experienced in person.

A factual market snapshot around 531 Moss Lake Lane.
Holly Ridge and the Summerhouse on Everett Bay community are currently tilted toward sellers. Inventory sits tight at roughly 2.5 months, and average days on market for the area are about 45 days — meaning well-priced, turnkey homes receive steady interest. Median sale prices in the broader area track near $650,000, while recent comparable sales inside Summerhouse show closes in the $700K–$785K range; a valuation midpoint for this property lands around $725,000 ($223/SF).
Single-family homes with resort-style amenities and water access have outperformed the broader market in the past year, showing roughly 5% appreciation year-over-year and stronger multi-year gains near 25% over five years. Low local inventory and seasonal vacation demand (Topsail Island nearby) favor sellers, but buyers who move quickly and come prepared with financing or proof of funds can still secure value — especially for modern, move-in-ready homes like this one. Key metrics to watch: days on market, active inventory, and any HOA restrictions that could affect rental potential or exterior changes.
