🚨 PRICE IMPROVEMENT 🚨

700 Puppy Drum Lane | Maysville, NC
🏡 NOW OFFERED AT $375,000

Sometimes the best value isn’t the newest house being built… it’s the one where someone already chose the premium options for you. Built in 2024, this spacious home offers over 2,400 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, but what truly makes it stand out are the upgraded features that aren’t standard in many of the surrounding new construction homes. From granite countertops and stainless steel appliances to a privacy-fenced backyard and an extended patio added by the current owners, this home offers the move-in ready lifestyle buyers are looking for without the added expense of making improvements after closing.

✨ Over 2,400 Heated Sq. Ft.
✨ 4 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms
✨ Situated on a large corner
✨ Granite Countertops
✨ Stainless Steel Appliances
✨ Refrigerator Conveys
✨ Cozy Corner Fireplace
✨ Privacy-Fenced Backyard
✨ Extended Patio Perfect for Grilling, Entertaining, or a Future Hot Tub
✨ One-Year Old Republic Home Warranty Included
✨ $2,500 Use-As-You-Choose Allowance

And now it’s offered at $375,000, making it an incredible opportunity in a neighborhood where many comparable new construction homes are priced higher while offering fewer premium features.

Located just minutes from Swansboro, Camp Lejeune, Jacksonville, and the Crystal Coast beaches, you’ll enjoy the convenience of newer construction with easy access to everything Eastern North Carolina has to offer.

🏡✨ Congratulations to this sweet family on closing on their new home today!

This is such an exciting season of life with so many changes happening, and I’m truly honored that I was able to be a small part of this chapter. While I’m going to miss helping you search for rentals, I’m so happy that you now have a house to turn into a home and a place that’s completely yours. I can’t wait to see all the memories you’ll make there and all the ways you’ll make it your own.

You definitely got yourselves something to keep you extra busy! 😉 I’ll be sure to drop off some waters when I’m in the area as you tackle the exterior in this summer heat.

A huge thank you to Melissa Seiler - Alpha Mortgage Corp for putting in some serious work to get this file to the closing table. You are greatly appreciated!

And thank you to The Barber Law Firm, PLLC for handling the closing and always making signing day such an enjoyable experience.

Wishing you nothing but happiness, laughter, and countless memories in your new home. I can’t wait to see what you do with it! 🏡✨💕

🔥 Wheat Field Fires & Agricultural Burns – What to Know 🌾

Over the coming weeks, you may notice large columns of smoke rising across Duplin County. Don't be alarmed — this is a common sight during this time of year as farmers begin controlled burns in harvested wheat fields. These agricultural burns help remove leftover crop residue, manage pests, and prepare the land for the next planting season.

These fires are intentionally set and carefully managed to reduce wildfire risk and support local agriculture. However, they can produce a lot of visible smoke — sometimes enough to cause concern.

📞 If you ever believe a fire appears to be out of control or spreading beyond its intended area, don’t hesitate — call 911 immediately. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

We appreciate your awareness and support of our agricultural community!

NOW AVAILABLE!!
SURF & TURF! Now will be offering local beef/pork/chicken/lamb/goat AND seafood. No, it was not in the plans, but we have moved to a location that was known in the area for their seafood, and suddenly doing away with it, caused some broken hearts and forced locals to drive great distances for their seafood. We are now taking orders for seafood. Yes, we will also have oysters & mussels in the fall.

Pickup only, we plan to carry frozen in the store & pickup first order of seafood this Friday in time for our Saturday Market.

Head-On Shrimp $8.99/lb.
Head-Off Shrimp $10.99/lb.
Spot Fish -Whole $4.99/lb.

*LIVE Crab available only with pre-orders, twice a month*
