Overview

PRICE REDUCED! Discover exceptional value at 2856 Trailwood Drive—an elegant 4-bedroom, 3-bath home nestled in the amenity-rich, gated community of St. James Plantation. This beautifully maintained residence offers timeless curb appeal with manicured landscaping, mature trees, and a welcoming front porch. Inside, you'll find a spacious, light-filled layout featuring hardwood floors, crown molding, tray ceilings, and decorative columns. The formal dining room sets the stage for memorable gatherings, while the recently updated kitchen showcases Viatera Quartz countertops, a 5-burner gourmet gas cooktop, stainless appliances including a combo microwave and self-cleaning oven, crisp white cabinetry, and abundant storage. Natural light pours into the cheerful breakfast nook overlooking the landscaped backyard. A sunroom with beadboard ceiling and walls of windows opens to the back deck—ideal for al fresco dining or quiet mornings surrounded by nature. The vaulted living room centers around a see-through gas fireplace shared with the sunroom. The primary suite offers deck access, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite. A finished room over the garage serves as a private fourth bedroom with full bath. On an oversized lot, this Certified Wildlife Habitat features a charming English garden attracting butterflies and bluebirds. The built-in gas line provides effortless grilling, and the oversized garage offers extra storage. As an extra bonus, the entire crawl space was recently cleaned out with all new encapsulation (see photo). Enjoy St. James' world-class amenities: four golf clubhouses, 81 holes of golf, tennis, pickleball, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness centers, marina, and the private Oak Island Beach Club. This home is a short walk to the marina, and its popular restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With its reduced price, this home offers an unbeatable opportunity to enjoy the perfect blend of comfort, elegance, and coastal living.
