Tucked along the peaceful waters of Bright Creek just off the Neuse River, this stunning 2.1-acre waterfront retreat captures the best of Oriental's coastal charm — quiet, private, and surrounded by nature. With its own boat dock, lift, and bulkhead, it's a dream setting for boaters and anyone drawn to the water. Mature trees frame the property, creating a secluded haven only minutes from the heart of Oriental. Inside, expansive windows and soaring ceilings fill the open living, dining, and kitchen areas with natural light and water views. The kitchen is designed for both function and flow, featuring bar seating and a butler's pantry. Three bedrooms and three full baths on the main level offer comfortable, thoughtfully designed living spaces, while a screened porch and spacious back deck invite you to enjoy life outdoors year-round. Upstairs, a private second living quarters provides added flexibility — complete with a large living area, kitchenette, bedroom, and full bath — ideal for guests or rental opportunities. A mudroom/laundry room adds everyday convenience, and the home's layout makes the most of its tranquil waterfront setting. Combining natural beauty, versatility, and proximity to New Bern, Washington, and surrounding coastal towns, 1144 Orchard Creek Drive offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility for those who crave the waterfront lifestyle.
