What's special

Covered front porchHandicap-accessible hall bathFenced backyard

Welcome home to this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in a convenient location just minutes from Cherry Point, Morehead City, and the beautiful Crystal Coast beaches. Both tile bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled, with a handicap-accessible hall bath for added convenience. Major updates include a new HVAC system and ductwork (2023) and an updated septic system that has been recently serviced. The refrigerator, stove, window treatments, and ADT security system (including connected smoke detector) all convey with the home. Enjoy a fenced backyard, covered front porch, attached 12'×20' garage, and two storage buildings (18'×20' and 12'×14'). The fireplace is capped but may be suitable for ventless gas logs. With no HOA, no city taxes, a termite bond in place, and a home warranty included with an acceptable offer, this home offers comfort, value, and peace of mind. Relax and unwind at the Crystal Coast!
