Well-Maintained 3-Bedroom Home with Smith Creek Park Access and Sunroom
This charming home offers a warm, inviting living experience in a setting that blends everyday convenience with the kind of natural beauty that instantly elevates your sense of place. With direct access to Smith Creek Park—a beloved outdoor destination featuring a scenic lake, looping walking and biking trails, a playground, and wide-open green spaces—this property offers something few homes can: a back yard that leads straight into a sprawling park environment. A private gate makes it easy to head out for a morning jog, an evening stroll with your dog, or a relaxed weekend exploring the trails. For anyone who values the combination of comfort, outdoor amenities, and manageable living spaces, this home feels like a standout opportunity, the kind that offers a practical lifestyle upgrade without compromising charm or coziness.
The home spans over 1,300 square feet, thoughtfully laid out to support smooth daily routines and comfortable downtime. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a 1-car garage, the footprint is great for those who want enough room to spread out but prefer an easy-to-maintain layout. From the moment you step inside, the home’s super cute and well-maintained condition shines through—every space feels cared for, and the flow makes immediate sense. Nothing about it feels stuffy or overly formal; instead, it presents the kind of warmth and brightness that lets you feel at home the moment you arrive.
Just inside the entrance, a coat closet offers quick access for storing jackets, backpacks, umbrellas, and everything that tends to accumulate around doorways. This simple, practical detail instantly makes the space feel organized, and it helps set the tone for the rest of the property. Right beyond that, the generously sized living room opens up with a dramatic vaulted ceiling that gives the space a spacious, airy feel. Whether you imagine a large sectional and movie-night setup or a more curated arrangement with accent chairs, plants, and art, the room easily adapts to your vision. The vaulted ceiling not only makes the room feel larger but also brings in enhanced natural light, especially during the early afternoon when sunlight tends to fill the space. As the central gathering area, it’s the kind of room where you can relax, entertain, work, or simply enjoy the comfort of a space that feels inviting at all hours.
Connected to the living room is the horseshoe kitchen, a layout that’s known for maximizing efficiency and counter space. This shape makes meal prep surprisingly smooth, keeping everything—appliances, counter surfaces, upper cabinets—within easy reach. The kitchen also features a reverse-osmosis filtration system at the sink, which is a thoughtful upgrade for buyers who care about high-quality drinking water without depending on filters or bottled options. The adjacency of the kitchen to the dining area creates a seamless flow, making the space feel open while still maintaining defined zones for cooking, dining, and gathering. The dining area can comfortably accommodate a standard table and chairs, and depending on your style, it could easily serve as a space for dinners, homework time, or weekend brunches with friends.
Beside the dining area is one of the home’s most appealing features: a sunroom overflowing with natural light. The room’s brightness immediately sets it apart, creating a cheerful, uplifting environment that can serve nearly any purpose. Some buyers might use it as a cozy reading nook filled with shelves and oversized pillows; others may prefer a dedicated home office, art studio, workout zone, or a hobby room where plants thrive and creativity flows. Its direct access to the rear patio also opens up possibilities for indoor-outdoor living, especially during the warmer months when mild breezes and sunny days make the entire back side of the home feel like the perfect place for a nice cookout. No matter how you envision the space, the sunroom adds personality and versatility to the home in a way that enhances everyday living without requiring a large footprint.
The layout follows a split-bedroom floor plan, offering valuable privacy for the primary suite. By placing the secondary bedrooms on the opposite side of the home, the primary suite becomes a peaceful retreat that feels tucked away but still connected to the main living areas. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet that provides plenty of storage for clothing and accessories, and a walk-in shower adds ease and convenience to the daily routine. Adding to the functionality, the suite also features a separate dressing area equipped with a double-sink vanity. This setup creates a comfortable flow for morning and evening routines, giving each person ample space for storage, grooming, and staying organized.
On the other side of the home, the guest bedrooms share a full bathroom that features an oversized vanity, a tub/shower combo, and ceramic tile flooring. The extra counter space at the vanity is an underrated perk, particularly for guests, children, or anyone who appreciates storage and surface area. The ceramic tile flooring is a practical long-term choice that holds up well over time and brings a clean, polished look to the space. Both bedrooms can function flexibly—perfect for overnight guests, a nursery, a media room, or even a second office if your lifestyle calls for it.
The exterior of the home adds even more appeal. A covered front porch sets a welcoming tone from the street, offering a shaded spot to sit outside or greet visitors. It’s the kind of detail that elevates curb appeal while enhancing everyday functionality. In the back yard, an extended patio pad creates additional space for outdoor seating, grilling, or weekend gatherings. The fenced yard offers a sense of security and privacy, while mature landscaping provides a beautiful natural backdrop. Whether you enjoy gardening, playing with pets, hosting outdoor dinners, or simply leaning into the calm of open-air moments, the yard has plenty of room to make those experiences happen.
Altogether, this property presents a compelling combination of charm, functionality, and lifestyle enhancement. It’s well-maintained, thoughtfully designed, and positioned in a location that lets you enjoy both everyday conveniences and the restorative calm of nature.

“I would like to share my experience in moving and listing my home with Melanie Cameron. She is absolutely the best...kept me informed on everything happening daily. Helped me coordinate movers and communicated directly with the mortgage company for my buyer. The listing experience was painless and her pictures taken of my home were absolutely beautiful. She never misses a return call and was there for me at settlement. I could not have found a better realtor to get me through this process. Listing or selling she's the best.”

“There aren't words to describe how amazing Melanie and her team are! We've worked with her a couple of times in the past, most recently to sell our home in Wilmington. She knows the market, how to make your home marketable, and really shines in working through offers. She is so communicative and quickly responds to questions. Please give the Cameron Team a shot -- you won't regret it!”

“This was my fourth time working with Melanie Cameron and the Cameron Team. Once again, the experience was outstanding. Every transaction I have done with Melanie has been smooth, professional and successful. Melanie consistently goes above and beyond- from offering expert advice on pricing and presentation, to providing beautiful marketing materials and handling negotiations with skill and confidence. I always feel supported and well-informed through each step of the process. It is rare to find someone this dependable and dedicated, and I wouldn't consider working with anyone else. If you are looking for a trusted agent who delivers results time after time, I can't recommend Melanie Cameron highly enough.”

“Melanie Cameron and her team were awesome from start to finish with the sale of my home. From the great photos of my house with the marketing to Melanie's expertise in all areas of selling and advising me I was totally satisfied. Melanie was always available to answer my questions and followed up with everything in a timely manner. Melanie is a total pro and with her team you can't go wrong. I can't imagine things going any better than they did. I will call Melanie in the future for my real estate needs. Thanks Melanie!”

“5 stars is simply not enough for Melanie and her team. If you’re looking for a realtor that will educate, advocate, and dedicate themselves along the way - look no further. There are so many unknowns when buying or purchasing a home. Melanie’s knowledge and experience is unmatched. She made the process so simple to understand and made herself available for any and all questions. We felt so comfortable raising our hand, and we were always met with patience and grace. She goes out of her way to make sure you feel supported and confident throughout the whole process. With other realtors, we’ve felt like a transaction or just another number, but Melanie serves as a true advocate along the way. She is fair, honest, and levelheaded, somehow finding the perfect balance across all parties and emotions involved. She has a phenomenal reputation and it was so reassuring knowing other agents enjoy working with her just as much as we do. We could feel her dedication from listing to close. We’ve used her and her team for multiple sales and purchases, and we couldn’t be happier with the results each and every time. The hunt for a realtor can be daunting, especially if you were like us and new to an area with few or no connections. We relied on hearing from others, and we knew the importance of a genuine review, so if you’re here reading just like we were several years ago, I promise you’re in the right place!”

“After an unsuccessful attempt trying to sell with another realtor in Wilmington, we interviewed several others and decided to work with Melanie and her team. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. Melanie provided some tough love advice on improvements we should make to the house before re-listing it (which proved to be right) and promoted the home as only Melanie and her team can. Her extensive use of social media as well as her personal network within the boating community proved to be the difference-maker for our unique home. I whole-heartedly recommend the Cameron Team. We'll use them again, for sure!”

“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.”
