This stunning Stuart Hardy home is situated on a protective cove, offering breathtaking views of the Neuse River and the Inter-Coastal Waterway. Within 32 nautical miles to the Outer Banks, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—serene living in the Inner Banks while being close to coastal adventures. The property boasts an impressive .8-acre lot with elevated waterfront living. Imagine relaxing in the spacious kitchen/dining/living area, which features incredible views and access to two screened porches and a deck, perfect for enjoying the natural beauty and wildlife. Additionally, the concrete dock provides two boat slips, making it ideal for sailing enthusiasts. You can unwind by the indoor or outdoor fireplace while watching the river roll by. If this sounds like a property you would be interested in, I would love to arrange a visit for you to experience the views and ambiance firsthand. Near the Village of Oriental you would enjoy a lifestyle of never ending adventures. It's a great day on the river.
