Expansive views across Oriental Harbor to the broad waters of the Neuse River set the stage for an extraordinary waterfront retreat in the heart of the charming village of Oriental. Beautifully updated and rich in character, this distinctive home enjoys a remarkable setting on picturesque Duck Pond, where sweeping harbor views and a magnificent old live oak, complete with a charming swing, capture the timeless appeal of coastal village living.
The inviting open floor plan features a spectacularly updated, spacious kitchen with granite countertops, a generous breakfast bar, downdraft range, Bosch dishwasher, and stainless steel French-door refrigerator. Beautiful oak floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, solid wood doors, handsome trim, and two fireplaces lend warmth and character throughout. A convenient utility room with pantry provides additional storage and functionality.
The primary suite is a private waterfront retreat, offering spectacular water views, the warmth of its own fireplace, a private porch, and a spacious custom-tiled shower. All three bedrooms enjoy their own bathrooms with quartz countertops, while the two guest bathrooms provide both walk-in shower and tub/shower options.
You'll love the additional living space offered by the oversized screened porch, where gentle breezes, captivating harbor views, and the unhurried rhythm of village life create a favorite perch for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or lingering conversations with friends. The covered gathering area beneath the home, complete with a bar, is perfect for oyster roasts and entertaining. Additional features include a man cave/workshop, Liftavator, metal roof, and small fishing dock.
And perhaps best of all, the pleasures of Oriental are just beyond your doorstep. Stroll, bike, or take your golf cart to The Bean for morning coffee, wander along the harbor, enjoy waterfront dining, explore local galleries, or gather with friends at New Village Brewery. Lou Mac Park and John Bond Beach are just moments away.
Whether envisioned as a cherished second home or a full-time waterfront residence, this distinctive property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the harbor, the character of a truly special home, and the irresistible charm of life in the heart of Oriental.
