What's special
Overlooking the serene waters of Brown Creek, this substantial estate offers a magnificent coastal setting complemented by an expansive 3.9-acre lush waterfront lot, over 4,000 square feet of exquisite architectural detail and tailored living spaces, and a private boat slip for waterfront access and entertainment. A private driveway ushers you to a charming covered porch surrounded by polished landscaping. You are welcomed through a cheery entrance into a grand foyer that opens onto a formal dining room with custom molding. At the center of the home, a magnificent living room showcases high ceilings and a central fireplace, transitioning seamlessly into a massive family room designed for effortless gatherings. The adjoining gourmet kitchen features abundant crisp cabinetry, a butcher block top island, granite countertops, and a sunny breakfast nook. The main-level primary owners' suite provides a luxurious retreat complete with a generous walk-in closet and an en-suite bath complete with a dual stone vanity and glass walk-in shower. Convenience abounds on the first floor with a quiet study, dedicated laundry room, tidy half bath, and direct connection to a large three-car attached garage with utility space. Upstairs, the second level opens to a versatile bonus room alongside two additional spacious bedrooms and a full central bathroom, providing exceptional accommodation for guests and specialized spaces. Meaningful upgrades include a new HVAC system and water heater, newer bamboo flooring, and fresh paint. Glass doors in the living room expand the living space outward to a broad screened porch and uncovered deck, offering panoramic views of the lush grounds leading toward the dock and creek. The sizable lot offers immense possibilities for recreation and water activities. Embracing peaceful country seclusion and endless water enjoyment, this property remains within comfortable reach of the sailing hub of Oriental and local marinas.
