    What's special

    Where the river meets the sky in a wash of gold and crimson, this extraordinary Neuse River waterfront home delivers luxury living with front-row sunset views and the iconic skyline of historic downtown New Bern as your backdrop. Nestled within Sandy Point--once a quiet waterfront enclave known primarily to boaters, fishermen, and those who appreciated life on the water, now transformed into one of New Bern's most coveted luxury waterfront addresses--this remarkable property offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and breathtaking scenery. With a private dock and sandy beach along the water's edge, every day feels like a retreat. Thoughtfully designed to showcase the panoramic river views, the main living level offers an open-concept layout featuring a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a light-filled dining area, and a beautifully updated kitchen complete with Bosch stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a generous island with beverage refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. The re-screened porch and freshly painted decks create seamless indoor-outdoor living, providing the perfect setting for entertaining or simply relaxing as the sun settles beyond downtown's historic skyline. The owner's suite is a true sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, dual closets, and an updated en suite featuring dual sinks, a walk-in shower, laundry access, and direct porch entry to a hot tub overlooking the river. The hall bathroom has been completely renovated, while the bath adjoining the fourth bedroom has been thoughtfully refreshed. The lower-level suite--with its own fireplace, full bath, kitchenette, private deck, and separate entrance--creates an ideal space for extended stays or visiting guests. Many windows have been replaced and the home has been freshly painted, enhancing both style and peace of mind. Outside, boating, fishing, paddle-boarding, and waterfront adventures await from your own backyard. Dolphins, bald eagles, and otters are occasional visitors, while each evening concludes with a spectacular sunset reflecting across the Neuse River. Offering an exceptional location just across the water from downtown New Bern, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of the area's most admired waterfront lifestyles.
