About this home

Set along the tranquil waters of Northwest Creek with sailboat access to the Neuse River, this remarkable waterfront retreat offers the rare opportunity to enjoy boating, fishing, and breathtaking scenery from your own backyard. A private dock, panoramic water vistas, and an atmosphere of relaxed luxury create a setting that feels like a private coastal escape while remaining just minutes from the charm, dining, and conveniences of New Bern. Whether you're an avid boater, fisherman, entertainer, or simply someone who appreciates breathtaking views from nearly every room, this home delivers a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate. Enter inside and be greeted by a soaring cathedral ceiling and an open-concept design that creates an immediate sense of space and light. The living area flows effortlessly into the dining space, where a gas log fireplace adds warmth and character, creating the perfect backdrop for gatherings both large and small. The spacious kitchen is thoughtfully designed with stainless steel appliances, abundant workspace, and sight-lines that keep the water views front and center. An incredible sunroom captures panoramic water views and creates the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply watch the ever-changing coastal landscape unfold outside your windows. The main-level primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a dressing and sitting room, generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and luxurious finishes designed for relaxation. Upstairs, three additional guest bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including one with its own en-suite bath and private balcony overlooking the water--a view your guests may never want to leave behind. An elevator provides convenient access between levels, while the attached garage and extensive under-home storage offer practical functionality without sacrificing elegance. Located within Fairfield Harbour, residents enjoy access to a gated waterfront community known for its marinas, boating opportunities, recreation facilities, golf, walking trails, and active coastal lifestyle. The neighborhood is ideally situated just across the river from historic downtown New Bern, where waterfront dining, boutique shopping, arts, entertainment, and year-round events await. Day trips to Oriental, the Crystal Coast beaches, and surrounding coastal destinations are all within easy reach, making this an ideal primary residence or waterfront getaway. Some homes offer water views. Some offer boating. Some offer luxury. This remarkable waterfront property brings all three together in one unforgettable setting, creating a rare opportunity to experience Eastern North Carolina coastal living at its finest.
