Your Wilmington wish list probably goes beyond three bedrooms. It is a backyard where the dog can chase a ball. A real office instead of a laptop at the kitchen table. Weekend beach plans, favorite local dinner spots and a comfortable place to come home to afterward. At 553 Montego Court in West Bay Estates, nearly 2,000 square feet of flexible living space puts those possibilities within reach. Start with the spaces that shape your day: a kitchen with room to spread out while you cook, a spacious living room anchored by a gas-log fireplace, and a separate dining room ready for dinner parties, workdays or whatever your next chapter calls for. Out back, a fully fenced yard makes room for a garden, a lively game of fetch or an evening spent catching up with friends. One major update is already checked off your list: a brand-new HVAC system with a transferable three-year parts and labor warranty, subject to required maintenance through Blaze, the installing company. Upstairs, all three bedrooms keep the sleeping spaces separate from the activity below. The primary suite offers a tray ceiling, walk-in closet and private bath with both a soaking tub and a separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath and second-floor laundry mean fewer trips up and down with a laundry basket. A two-car garage, irrigation system and low annual HOA dues round out the practical perks. Beyond your front door, West Bay Estates offers neighborhood sidewalks and convenient access to grocery stores, shopping, dining and Wrightsville Beach. Highways and bypasses by the home also provide easy access to the airport and other beach communities in southeastern North Carolina. Room to work, room to gather and a backyard worth stepping outside for-come see how comfortably life could fit here.
