'There's simply nothing else like it on the market!!! Built by a custom home builder as his personal residence, this exceptional custom-built home at 210 Brittany Lane showcases a level of craftsmanship, design, and finish rarely found in newer construction. Every detail was carefully selected and professionally executed, creating a home that blends luxury, comfort, and functionality in a way that truly stands apart. Offering 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and at 1967 heated square feet, the home is centered around a stunning chef's kitchen designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Premium quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, specialty storage features, and top-tier appliances anchor the space, highlighted by a residential/commercial-grade dual-fuel range with a professional vent hood system. From the custom cabinetry to the carefully selected finishes, the kitchen was built to impress even the most discerning buyer. The main living areas feature coffered ceilings, extensive crown molding, recessed lighting, custom wood detailing, solid wood interior doors, and high-end flooring throughout. The primary owner's suite feels like a private retreat with custom ceiling accents, ambient lighting, and beautifully finished bath spaces that continue the home's elevated design style. Built with quality and efficiency at the forefront, this home includes 2x6 exterior wall construction, upgraded insulation throughout, a two-zone Trane high-efficiency HVAC system, Rinnai tankless propane water heater, smart thermostats and switches, tilt double-hung windows, and oversized, insulated garage doors. Every feature reflects the quality and forethought that comes from a builder constructing a home for himself rather than for resale. The oversized three-car garage (just over 1000 sq ft) is equally impressive and offers far more than parking space alone. Complete with custom cabinetry, exceptional built-in storage, and a dedicated workshop area, this space was built to the standard of the living area of the home and is ideal for hobbyists, craftsmen, boating enthusiasts, or anyone needing a functional workspace without sacrificing organization, comfort, or appearance. Outdoor living was designed with the same attention to detail, featuring architectural shingles, Board & Batten accents, oversized concrete driveway space, a 50-amp RV hookup, exterior gas grill connection, generator receptacle, flood lighting, gutters with gutter guards, and a high-end screened porch system designed for long-lasting coastal durability. Located in the established Forest Ridge community, residents enjoy private access to the neighborhood boat ramp, day dock, and convenient RV/boat storage. The location is one of the area's finest -- just minutes from the waterfront town of Swansboro and the crystal-clear waters and beaches of Emerald Isle. Whether spending the day on the water, enjoying local coastal dining, or simply taking in the natural beauty surrounding the neighborhood, the lifestyle offered here is truly exceptional. This is not simply another newer home with upgrades added along the way -- this is a thoughtfully designed, professionally crafted custom residence built with pride, premium materials, and long-term quality in mind.
