Stunning Craftsman-style Home Magnolia Reserve
Welcome to this stunning Craftsman-style home in the sought-after Magnolia Reserve community — a beautifully maintained Hardison Building construction that feels straight out of a model showcase. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, blending style and functionality for everyday living.
Step onto the charming covered front porch and into a welcoming interior where a formal dining room sets an inviting tone. A coffered ceiling adds an extra touch of elegance to the space, perfect for hosting dinners or casual gatherings. The dining room seamlessly connects to a gorgeous kitchen, complete with quartz countertops, a center island for prep and seating, and a spacious pantry for extra storage.
Just beyond the kitchen, the airy living room offers a relaxing setting with a vaulted ceiling and a gas log fireplace (never hooked up to gas or used), adding a cozy architectural feature to the heart of the home. Durable wood laminate flooring flows throughout the main living areas, creating a warm and cohesive feel, while the bathrooms feature attractive tile finishes for easy maintenance.
The primary suite, located on the first floor, offers a peaceful retreat with thoughtful upgrades throughout. The bedroom features a stylish trey ceiling, setting a sophisticated tone. The en suite bathroom is designed for both comfort and functionality, featuring a double-sink vanity, a walk-in shower, a wide linen closet, a private water closet, and a spacious walk-in closet — providing a smart layout for storage and organization.
Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms (including a private ensuite for one of the bedrooms), and a versatile loft area ideal for a home office, play area, or media space. Whether you need extra room for guests or a dedicated hobby space, the flexible upstairs layout delivers.
Also on the first floor are a laundry room and a half bathroom, designed with everyday convenience in mind.
From the living room, step outside onto a covered patio overlooking a fenced back yard that backs up to a natural wooded area—offering extra privacy and a peaceful setting for outdoor relaxation, barbecues, or evening unwinding. The back yard extends about 30 f.t. beyond the area that is fenced, so you could have more yard space if you need it.
Magnolia Reserve offers an unbeatable location: just a short drive to Surf City’s iconic pier, less than four miles away, and an easy commute to the shopping, dining, and vibrant coastal attractions of Topsail Island. As a special perk, residents of Magnolia Reserve receive two Surf City parking passes, allowing free year-round parking at any Surf City public beach access point — a major bonus for beachgoers.
This Craftsman gem offers a blend of coastal convenience, thoughtful design, and quality construction that’s hard to find. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence or a weekend escape near the water, this home offers the perfect place to settle in and enjoy everything the Topsail area has to offer.

“Melanie impressed us with their professionalism, deep market knowledge, and unwavering dedication. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful process, but she made it feel effortless and enjoyable. She provided expert advice on how to prepare our home for the market. With the uncertainty of the current economic environment, we were still able to have numerous showings and strong offers, and she negotiated skillfully to get us an incredible final sale price. Communication was fantastic. We were kept informed every step of the way, and every question was answered promptly and thoroughly. Melanie anticipated challenges before they arose and always had a plan in place. It was clear we were in capable, experienced hands from start to finish. Most importantly, Melanie genuinely cared — not just about selling the home, but about making sure we felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. If you’re looking to sell your home and want someone who is smart, responsive, strategic, and deeply committed to getting the best outcome possible, look no further than Melanie. We’re beyond grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Melanie again and recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.”

“I hired Melanie Cameron after speaking with numerous real estate agents in the Wilmington area. Her skill set and kindness made her the perfect fit to help me with my situation - selling my mother's house in Wilmington (after my mother had been moved to assisted living) even though I live 13 hours away in Western New York. Melanie was helpful and responsive, answering endless questions and pointing me towards resources to solve all the problems I encountered through the process. Cannot recommend Melanie highly enough.”

“Melanie and her team were fantastic to work with while selling our house. We felt very comfortable with Melanie from our first meeting with her and that continued throughout the process. The marketing was excellent with great pictures and a great video that both really showcased the unique aspects of our home. Melanie priced our home right and we had an offer from one of the first buyers to look at our home. We would highly recommend the Cameron Team for any real estate transactions.”
