Experience the ultimate lakefront lifestyle in New Bern's highly desirable Lake View community. Positioned directly on the water's edge of this small man-made lake, this property delivers peaceful views and backyard access for fishing, kayaking or paddle boarding. Stepping inside, the expansive floor plan with over 2900 sq. ft. features five bedrooms (or four and a bonus space), including a highly sought-after main-level primary suite. The elegant formal dining room and eat-in kitchen provide a perfect layout for effortless entertaining, while the large family room centers around the cozy gas logs for relaxing during cooler evenings. Some well planned upgrades elevate the entire interior, highlighting detailed trim work, lighting, shelving and granite countertops. Stylish accent walls and a coffered ceiling add flair throughout including a fun and functional chalkboard wall in the garage! Out back, a covered patio invites you to unwind, and take in the water views. The fenced backyard provides a peaceful setting that's on the shady side of the home during these sunny Carolina evenings. Ideally located, this property offers a convenient commute to Cherry Point and the historic downtown New Bern, while remaining a comfortable drive away from the beautiful beaches of the NC Crystal Coast.
