Sound-Front Luxury Living - No Flood Zone! This stunning 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom sound-front home isn't just a place to live—it's a lifestyle. Wake up to breathtaking panoramic views of Bogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway, with expansive windows flooding your home with natural light and endless waterfront beauty. Designed with functionality in mind, the modern kitchen is a dream, featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and a farmhouse sink. The extra-large island is the perfect gathering spot for hosting guests while enjoying the stunning backdrop. Outside experience the ultimate waterfront lifestyle. Your private dock comes fully equipped with a boat lift, a floating jet ski lift, and a kayak launch, making it effortless to hop on the water for a sunset cruise or a ride to downtown Swansboro for dinner. Prefer to stay in? Cast a net off the dock for fresh shrimp or spend your evening around the fire pit, soaking in the peaceful ambiance.
When it's time to unwind, take a dip in the heated inground pool (installed in 2019), perfect for relaxing and enjoying the tranquil surroundings. After a day on the water, rinse off in the outdoor shower, designed for the perfect beach-day clean-up. Entertain guests in style with additional outdoor seating, featuring low-maintenance artificial turf and string lights. Retaining walls throughout the property are enhanced with subtle lighting, giving the home an elevated, luxury feel.
For even more convenience, the home features three additional storage rooms off the carport, perfect for storing bicycles, pool toys, beach gear, and other coastal essentials. This home is located in the desirable Ocean Forest Subdivision, offering private oceanfront gated parking for $100 per year—perfect for easy beach access without the hassle of finding parking. Tastefully remodeled, this home was taken down to the studs in 2019 and redesigned with high-end finishes throughout!
