Welcome to 281 Bay Run, a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home in the waterfront community of Bluewater Banks. With over 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home blends everyday comfort with that laid-back Crystal Coast lifestyle.
Step inside to a warm and inviting layout, featuring a spacious living area and a well-appointed kitchen with a brand new Bosch dishwasher, two refrigerators (one located in the garage), and ample cabinet space. The cozy gas fireplace, new ceiling fans and light fixtures, and fresh wooden blinds add style and functionality throughout. Storage is no issue here—with three walk-in attic spaces and a recently upgraded garbage disposal and water softener (2025). Out back, your own private retreat awaits under the tall pines—a peaceful gazebo (over 9' x 15' large) perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. An irrigation system keeps the yard looking great with minimal effort, and the home also comes equipped with an ADT security system for peace of mind. Bluewater Banks offers a lifestyle to love: a recently renovated community pier and dock on Bogue Sound, walking trails, a pond, and a picnic area—all just minutes from Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, Camp Lejeune, and Cherry Point. Come see why life truly is better at Bay Run.
