Enjoy iconic coastal living in this Neuse Riverfront home with its distinctive design inspired by the classic Inner Coastal screw-pile cottage-style lighthouses, including the celebrated New Canal Lighthouse on Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ideally located just a short stroll from the Minnesott Beach Golf & Country Club, minutes from the ferry, and close to Wayfarers Cove Marina, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence blends architectural charm with modern comforts. Elevated on pilings with modular construction, the home features bamboo floors, plantation shutters, Anderson windows, and built-in bookcases that create a warm, character-rich interior. An elevator provides convenient access to all levels. The well-appointed kitchen includes quartz countertops, a JennAir 6-burner cooktop, built-in oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and a stackable washer/dryer. Bathrooms include clean, easy-to-maintain walk-in showers. A striking spiral stairwell leads to an upper-level observation platform, offering elevated vistas of the Neuse River and surrounding coastal landscape. Outdoor living continues with a screened porch, open porch, extensive decking, a concrete patio, and a workshop. A two-car garage adds storage and convenience. A metal roof and air-to-air heat pump enhance durability and efficiency. Boaters will love the private boat basin complete with three slips and a 5,000-lb boat lift, providing direct access to the Neuse River. A serene private sandy beach completes this exceptional riverfront setting. A distinctive coastal retreat that beautifully blends lighthouse-inspired architecture with superb waterfront amenities.
