Townhomes at Boca Bay



The Oaks at Boca Bay. Pretty descriptive, we have been told. The developers of this special part of Topsail Island have demonstrated their stewardship by saving the live oaks that have graced this property for more than 100 years, and by planting additional trees for the future.

The Oaks at Boca Bay will be a small community, further protecting the unique environment. Secluded island living in the heart of Topsail Island, yet providing convenient access to all the amenities in Surf City, Topsail Beach, Sneads Ferry and Wilmington.
Feel more like following greens than following seas? The Golf Digest top rated North Shore Country Club is just a few miles away. The Surf City park, with its boardwalk around the sound, playground, public boat ramps and picnic shelters is the site of many island celebrations and fun for young and old.

Call Rand today (910.352.1414)for the complete information about this once in a lifetime opportunity on Topsail Island or visit www.randburchfield.com or the website at www.bocabaync.com. Oh, and the pricing begins at $289,900., a great opportunity for island living!

Listing your home during the holidays? Here are some ideas!

Holiday Staging Ideas

Curb Appeal
Remove spent plants from the landscape. Freshen up any pots with cold hardy plants. Hang a welcoming wreath on the front door.

Packing Up
As you break out the holiday cookware and decorations sort through items that you don't use anymore. Try to find a new home for them that is not your home! When the holidays are over be sure to pack items carefully so that you won't have to repack when it's time to move.

Time for Some Warm Glows
The holidays are a great time to decorate with candles. Consider grouping all different sizes. Keep fragrances subtle so buyers won't wonder what you are trying to cover up.

Bring the Outdoors In
Take advantage of our mild winter climate that affords us so many green branches to clip and use for natural arrangements. Tie a red bow around the container and group them for instant fresh decorations!

Less is More
Avoid the urge to decorate every nook and cranny of your house while it is on the market! Decorations can distract buyers from seeing your home's features and make the house appear less spacious.
