Description

Experience relaxed coastal living on the Bay River with this inviting waterfront retreat offering approx 170 ft of shoreline and wide, tranquil water views. Designed for comfort and connection to the outdoors, this elevated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features an open-concept layout filled with natural light and a seamless flow to expansive wraparound porches--perfect for morning coffee, evening breezes, and soaking in the scenery. A standout feature is the tempered glass-enclosed all-season porch with its own mini-split, creating a year-round space to enjoy river views in total comfort--whether it's a quiet sunrise or a peaceful sunset after a day on the water. The property encourages a true coastal lifestyle, with a private concrete dock extending approximately 225-230 ft into the Bay River, complete with water, electricity & a 7K boat lift --ready for immediate use. A dedicated kayak/SUP launch adds even more versatility for exploring the shoreline. Spend your days boating to the ICW (approx. 15 minutes), exploring the surrounding towns and anchorages of the Pamlico Sound, or simply enjoying the calm waters right from your backyard. Outdoor living is just as thoughtful, featuring a fenced yard, picnic area, and a heated outdoor shower--ideal after a day in the sun. Underneath the home, up to 5 covered bays offer ample room for boats, trailers, and gear. An additional storage/workshop space provides storage flexibility for hobbies, gear, or recreational equipment. A detached shed and 12x28 barn offer even more room for storage or creative use -ideal for housing all your coastal equipment. Recent kitchen updates include granite countertops, updated appliances, and soft-close European hinges, blending functionality with style. The lot is bulkheaded and riprapped for shoreline stability. With no HOA and a setting that balances privacy, comfort, and access to the water, this property is perfectly suited as a full-time residence or a peaceful coastal getaway. For coastal enthusiasts, it's the prime waterfront setup where year-round boating reigns and the focus is simple: getting out on the water.
