Property Description

Wonderful waterfront opportunity on the ICWW/Bogue Sound in Newport, offering expansive views and a true coastal lifestyle at an approachable price point. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with over 1,700 heated square feet includes additional flexible living spaces and is thoughtfully positioned to maximize its stunning water setting. Outdoor features are designed for making the most of waterfront living. The durable hog slat dock with lift and two platforms is ideal for boating, casting a line, or launching a day on the water. Enjoy fishing right from your dock, watching boats pass along the ICWW, or spending afternoons exploring nearby shorelines for shells. A saltwater pool, spacious yard with fire pit, large Trex deck, and screened porch create inviting spaces to relax, entertain, and take in the coastal breezes. Inside, the home offers a generously sized primary suite with beautiful water views. The updated kitchen features solid surface countertops and newer appliances, along with an adjacent dining or flex space for added versatility. Improvements began around 2019 and have continued with thoughtful updates by the current owner. Additional highlights include cement board siding, storm shutters, a permitted newer shed, and an encapsulated crawl space (inspected and serviced February 2026, under warranty). No HOA. Located in Flood Zone X (flood insurance not typically required by lenders) and within the sought-after Croatan School District. Conveniently situated between Cape Carteret and Morehead City, with easy access to local amenities, this well-maintained property offers an ideal setting for those seeking boating, fishing, and relaxed waterfront living. Coming soon with anticipated availability around Easter. Contact us for more details and to be notified when showings begin.
