With more than 250 feet of creek frontage and direct navigable access to the Perquimans River, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy life on the water while surrounded by peaceful countryside. The home is thoughtfully designed with 2,500 square feet of living space and an additional 2,500 square feet of fully insulated garage space. Inside, you're welcomed by an expansive open-concept layout featuring a living area, dining space, and a recently expanded kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with Energy Star appliances, abundant cabinetry, and generous counter space, making it ideal for both daily living and entertaining. The residence includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, enhanced with modern touches such as LED mirrors. Smart home features--including thermostats, lighting, and ceiling fans--add convenience and efficiency throughout. The main living area soars to the roofline, creating a bright, airy atmosphere, complemented by an oversized ceiling fan to keep air flowing comfortably. A 1,900-square-foot unfinished loft provides endless possibilities for customization. Accessed by a staircase with motion-activated tread lighting, the loft also includes a wheelchair post lift for added accessibility. The garage is built to accommodate a variety of needs, featuring four oversized insulated doors that can easily fit larger vehicles, including campers. A 50/30-amp RV hookup adds even more versatility for travel or guest accommodations. Outside, the property offers both privacy and functionality, set well off New Hope Road. A fenced area with a run-in shelter is ready for horses, goats, or other animals. The creekside setting invites boating, fishing, and kayaking, with a neighborhood launch available for easy access.
