About this home

Set along the Neuse River and Intracoastal Waterway, this beautifully renovated waterfront residence captures the essence of elevated coastal living with sweeping water views, generous living spaces, and an extraordinary 520-square-foot all-season sunroom designed to make the waterfront part of everyday life. Framed by white-painted brick and classic blue shutters, the home offers a polished coastal presence in one of Oriental's sought-after waterfront neighborhoods, just minutes from the heart of the village. Extensively renovated between 2020 and 2023, the transformation reached well beyond cosmetic updates, with the home opened up and rebuilt down to floor, window, and wall framing. New larger windows bring exceptional natural light into the interiors while drawing the eye toward the water, and waterproof LVP flooring flows throughout the home. From the covered front porch, the formal living and dining rooms create an inviting first impression, with a direct line of sight toward the spectacular sunroom beyond. The open kitchen, family room, and breakfast area form the everyday heart of the home, where deep blue cabinetry, updated finishes, abundant windows, and expansive water views create a comfortable yet sophisticated setting for gathering. The sunroom is truly the showpiece, offering 520 square feet of conditioned living space surrounded by windows and views across the lawn and river. Whether used for dining, entertaining, relaxing, or simply watching the changing light over the water, it is a space that makes the setting impossible to overlook. Three bedrooms are located on the main level, including a spacious primary suite with water views, walk-in closet, a dual-sink vanity, and a large walk-in shower. Upstairs, a private fourth bedroom or office includes a full bath and opens directly to a waterfront balcony overlooking the grounds and river beyond. Outside, the property continues to embrace the waterfront lifestyle with a 2023 bulkhead and rock shoreline protection, expansive lawn, and a fenced dog run with a convenient dog door and ramp directly from the kitchen. Additional features include a metal roof, 2018 HVAC and ductwork, Atlantic Breeze storm shutters on all windows and doors, whole-home generator, buried propane tank, Kinetico water filtration system, and gutters. Located in Dolphin Point, a waterfront community surrounded by the Neuse River, Pierce Creek, and Bonito Channel, residents have access to a community tennis court, if a member of the optional HOA. Oriental's marina, waterfront dining, shops, and sailing culture are just minutes away, while the village itself sits at the mouth of the Neuse where the river meets the Pamlico Sound and ICW. This is a property where the view is not simply something to admire--it becomes part of the architecture, the atmosphere, and the way the home is meant to be enjoyed.
