This stunning Stuart Hardy home is situated on a protective cove, offering breathtaking views of the Neuse River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Within 32 nautical miles to the Outer Banks, you can enjoy the best of both worlds, serene living in the Inner Banks while being close to coastal adventures. The property boasts an impressive .8-acre lot with elevated waterfront living. Imagine relaxing in the spacious kitchen/dining/living area, which features SS Appliances, gas stove and oven along with a 2nd electric oven, wine cooler and ice maker, slide out shelves for pots and pantry items. Enjoy the incredible views and access to two screened porches and a deck, perfect for enjoying the natural beauty and wildlife. The split floor plan featuring a primary bedroom suite on the right side of the home and guest rooms on the 2nd level. Additionally, the concrete dock provides two boat slips, making it ideal for sailing enthusiasts. You can unwind by the indoor or outdoor fireplace while watching the river roll by. The property includes a Kinetico whole house water softener and reverse osmosis, two HVAC zoned systems (one new). Two electrical panels prewired for an all house generator and a new hot water heater with recirculation. The walk-in attic offers plenty of additional storage. Beyond the home itself lies a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find. The nearby village offers a vibrant sense of community with annual music and holiday festivals, sailing and boating races, Dragon Boat events, bike tours, boat shows and a lifestyle of never ending adventures. For those who enjoy land-based recreation, a nearby golf course rounds out the options. Whatever your passion, you'll find it here, where life on the water simply feels better. If this speaks to you, I'd be happy to arrange a visit so you can experience the views and lifestyle first hand. It's a great day on the river.
