Welcome to your private slice of paradise! Nestled on a beautifully landscaped 1.62-acre lot, this inviting 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and leisure. Ideally situated between the charming village of Oriental and the vibrant town of New Bern, you'll enjoy the best of coastal living in a quiet, convenient location.
A welcoming paved driveway leads you to a large two-car garage and additional parking space, making daily living and entertaining a breeze. Inside, the home features a bright, spacious layout with thoughtful touches throughout. Two of the three generously sized bedrooms offer luxurious ensuite baths, providing ideal accommodations for family and guests. A separate office or recreation space with a bathroom —detached from the main house—adds flexibility for remote work, hobbies, or a private retreat. Designed for easy cleaning and low-maintenance living, the home is equipped with quality double-hung tilt-in windows. Step outside and discover a true backyard oasis! The in-ground saltwater pool and relaxing hot tub are complemented by an expansive patio area, complete with a gas fire pit for gathering on cool evenings. Multiple porches, including a screened dining porch, offer endless options for outdoor living, entertaining, and soaking in the coastal breezes. A shed at the back of the property provides even more storage for outdoor gear, tools, or workshop needs. With quality features throughout, resort-style amenities, and a spacious, private lot, this home is a rare find in one of Pamlico County's most desirable areas.
Home was moved from original location in 1993. Seller is related to Listing Agent.
