Set on just over two acres near the heart of Burgaw, 1600 NC Hwy 53 W delivers the space and freedom of country living while keeping everyday conveniences within easy reach. Downtown Burgaw is just minutes away, while convenient access to Wilmington puts shopping, dining, employment centers, and the surrounding beaches within reach. With no subdivision or HOA, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find: room to spread out, useful outdoor space, and the flexibility to enjoy it your way. The one-level brick home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and more than 2,500 square feet with a floor plan designed for both comfortable everyday living and gathering. A spacious foyer opens to a light-filled formal dining room before leading into the home's expansive living area. Exposed ceiling beams, bamboo flooring, a gas-log fireplace, and custom built-ins give the room warmth and character, with additional space for casual dining or a breakfast area. The kitchen combines function with plenty of storage, featuring granite countertops, extensive white cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and a breakfast bar. Nearby, a dedicated laundry room and half bath add convenience. A private office with paneled walls and built-in cabinetry creates an excellent work-from-home space, while three generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations. The owner's suite includes a large double-door closet and private bath with tile flooring and a step-in shower, and the guest bath also features tile flooring and a step-in shower. An additional bonus room provides approximately 285 square feet of flexible space for a media room, guest area, recreation room, or other use. This area was converted from the former garage; permits were not located, and the space is not included in the home's stated square footage. Outside, the property offers just as much versatility. The covered carport includes storage and a ceiling fan, allowing it to easily double as a shaded outdoor gathering area. An extended rear patio and deck with ramp access provide additional places to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the setting. For anyone needing space beyond the house, the property really stands apart. A 40x20 barn with a window unit and adjoining covered area offers excellent potential for a workshop, studio, hobbies, equipment, or additional storage, complemented by a separate storage shed. Solar panels, an updated gas-pack HVAC system, gas generator, and updated roof add valuable improvements to an already wellequipped property. Country living doesn't have to mean being disconnected. Here, you can enjoy more than two acres, useful outbuildings, flexible living space, and the privacy of being outside a traditional neighborhood--all while remaining close to downtown Burgaw with convenient access to Wilmington and the Carolina coast. If you've been looking for more land, more possibilities, and a little more breathing room, 1600 NC Hwy 53 W is ready to deliver it
