188 E Ridge Court, Jacksonville, NC 28540

Nestled on a picturesque 0.68-acre waterfront lot, this beautifully maintained 2,226-square-foot home offers the perfect blend of comfort, updates, and peaceful outdoor living. Built in 2005, this property provides a front-row seat to nature, where turtles and ducks regularly make their home along the water's edge. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully updated home featuring fresh paint, new recessed lighting in the kitchen, newer stainless steel appliances, professionally cleaned carpets, and new ceiling fans in every bedroom. The spacious floor plan is highlighted by two gas-log fireplaces--one in the living room and another in the primary suite--creating warm, inviting spaces year-round. A generously sized upstairs bonus room, complemented by a separate bonus/flex room, provides valuable additional living space that's not often found at this price point, giving you room to work, play, and grow. The kitchen and bathrooms have been refreshed with new faucets, while major system updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof installed in October 2021 featuring a premium CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingle in Moire Black, complemented by new 5-inch high-gloss white gutters. The upper-level HVAC system has been replaced within the last four years, and the septic tank was professionally pumped in 2025. Step outside and enjoy waterfront living from the updated rear deck featuring TREX® Lineage decking, designed for long-lasting beauty and low maintenance. The backyard is enclosed by a new wood privacy fence, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the serene water views. Conveniently located near Marine Corps Air Station New River, shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, schools, and a short drive to the Crystal Coast's beautiful beaches, this home offers both privacy and accessibility. Waterfront views, extensive updates, and a prime Jacksonville location--this is one you won't want to miss.
