Bradley Creek East

What Bradley Creek East's governing documents say

Bradley Creek East is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions that runs with the land for 45-year terms. These rules bind all lot owners and are enforced by the developer (Grathwol) or other owners, not by a homeowners association.

• Architectural review & minimum house size: No building, fence, or grade change is allowed without written approval from Grathwol, who may refuse for any aesthetic or environmental reason. Each house must have at least 2,000 square feet of enclosed dwelling area (excluding garages, decks, porches).
• Setbacks & location: Houses must be at least 50 feet from the street and 25 feet from side lot lines. No specific front setback is fixed; Grathwol controls site location to protect privacy, views, and trees.
• Residential use & home businesses: All lots are for residential use only. No home business or occupation is permitted, except an office on Lots 7 and 8. No trailers, tents, or temporary structures may be used as residences.
• Pets: Only household pets are allowed; no other domesticated animals may be kept on the property.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must provide off-street parking for at least three cars before occupancy, with driveways and parking areas made of concrete, asphalt, crushed stone, or similar surfaces.
• Fences & landscaping: Fences must be behind the rear line of the house unless Grathwol grants a written exception for a decorative fence. Hedges or shrubs planted more than 10 feet in front of the house must be kept under 4 feet tall.
• Road maintenance assessments: Each of the 13 lots pays a 1/13th share of the cost to maintain the private road system. Unpaid charges bear 12% annual interest and become a lien on the lot, subordinate only to first mortgages.
• Right of first refusal: For two years after buying a lot, the owner must first offer it to Grathwol at the same price and terms. Grathwol has 30 days to accept or reject.
