For serious boaters, sailors, and waterfront enthusiasts, this exceptional 2,430 sq. ft coastal retreat offers the perfect combination of protected deep-water dockage and the tranquility and privacy of the Dolphin Point Community.
The waterfront estate features an impressive 72' deep-water dock, designed to accommodate multiple boats, both sail and power. the dock is located on a sheltered channel off of Pierce Creek and it offers excellent draft, protected mooring, and immediate access to the Neuse River, ICW, and some of North Carolina's finest cruising waters for everything from day trips on the Neuse to extended cruising along the ICW. After a day on the water, you'll enjoy a comfortable, well maintained home filled with natural light featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a highly desirable first-floor primary suite. Gleaming oak floors, expansive windows, and open living spaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the updated kitchen showcases Bosch appliances and quartz countertops ideal for entertaining family and guests. From multiple vantage points throughout the home, enjoy waterfront views across Sea Harbour Marina and Pierce Creek.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a spacious screened porch overlooking the water, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The outdoor gathering area and fire pit offer a welcoming space to enjoy coastal sunsets and waterfront breezes.
Lovingly maintained by only its second owner since 1996, the home has been thoughtfully updated, including two HVAC systems installed in 2011 and professionally relocated attic ductwork installed in 2019 for enhanced efficiency and comfort, as well as a ''Miami Dade Approved'' shingle roof installed in 2025.
Whether your passion is sailing, fishing, cruising the ICW, or simply enjoying life on the water, this rare waterfront property delivers protected deep-water dockage, outstanding boating access, and the coastal lifestyle you've been searching for. Owner is also selling his beautifully maintained 2004 Beneteau 373. Contact listing agent for details.
