Property Description

Now offered with a $26,000 price improvement, this incredible waterfront opportunity along the ICWW/Bogue Sound in Newport just became even more compelling. If you’ve been waiting for the right coastal property at the right value, this is it.
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers over 1,700 heated square feet plus additional flexible living spaces, all thoughtfully positioned to capture expansive, unobstructed water views and the essence of coastal living. Outdoor features are designed for making the most of life on the water, including a private hog slat dock with lift and dual platforms, ideal for boating, fishing, or launching a day on the ICWW. 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 features a generously sized primary suite with beautiful water views, along with an updated kitchen offering solid surface countertops, newer appliances, and 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 that was inspected and serviced in February 2026 and is under warranty. There is no HOA, and the property is located in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is not typically required by lenders. It is also situated within the sought-after Croatan School District and conveniently located between Cape Carteret and Morehead City, providing easy access to area amenities.
This well-maintained property offers an ideal setting for those seeking boating, fishing, and relaxed waterfront living.
