249 Ernest Gurganus Road

We loved this one so much we gave it a nickname: Primrose Cottage. And unlike the old Marine Corps saying, we actually DO promise you a rose garden, or at the very least, the backyard space to grow one.

Nestled beneath a canopy of grand mature oaks on a private half-acre in Jacksonville, NC, this renovated 3 bedroom cottage delivers the rare combination of genuine renovation quality, outdoor living space, and an unbeatable location. No HOA and county taxes only.

The kitchen and bathroom were both taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt with new cabinets, new fixtures, new plumbing fittings, and finishes that feel far more expensive than the asking price. New luxury vinyl plank flooring flows through the main living and dining areas, with carpet in all three bedrooms. Every wall inside and out has been freshly painted, and a stainless side-by-side refrigerator and water purification system conveys with the home.

The 20-foot covered front porch is everything a Southern cottage porch should be: shaded, wide, and ready for a swing and a slow morning.
