A rare coastal discovery for discerning buyers seeking expansive ''big water'' views, architectural excellence, and a refined lifestyle beyond the crowds. Set on approximately one acre with sweeping 180-degree views of the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound, this masterfully crafted waterfront estate is located in one of Coastal Carolina's most authentic and vibrant sailing communities—offering serenity, privacy, and access without congestion.
Inspired by the timeless beauty of the Tuscan countryside, the architect-designed residence captures panoramic water views from nearly every room. A tranquil courtyard entry opens to a dramatic gallery with soaring vaulted ceilings and blue-water vistas beyond. The gracious great room features a wet bar, fireplace, and seamless flow to a screened porch and expansive terraces—ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection. A gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, dual prep areas, and an herb courtyard balances elegance and function.
The luxurious owner's suite offers a private terrace overlooking the water and dual spa-like baths. A library and thoughtfully designed guest suites provide comfort and privacy for family and guests. Outdoors, manicured lawns meet the shoreline, often framed by passing sailboats and dolphins.
A deeded boat slip with power plus an additional landing and fishing dock complete this exceptional offering. Additional amenities include a whole-house generator, sound and security systems, heated bathroom floors, reverse-osmosis water, specialty lighting, and generous storage. An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a beautiful, architecturally significant waterfront home at a value rarely found in premier coastal markets—perfect for buyers ready to escape urban sprawl and embrace true coastal elegance.
