A true MUST SEE! Some homes offer space. Others offer style. This one delivers both--along with more than an acre of land in sought-after Watercrest Landing, an increasingly rare find near the Swansboro coast. With 3,173 square feet, five bedrooms, and a floor plan designed to accommodate real life, this beautifully maintained home offers room to live comfortably, entertain generously, and grow without compromise. From the moment you enter, the excellence and character of the home are unmistakable. The two-story generous living room is filled with natural light and centered around a custom fireplace feature accented by substantial real wood beams. The result is warm, dramatic, and memorable without feeling overdone. In the dining area, a detailed coffered ceiling adds another layer of craftsmanship and creates an inviting setting for intimate dinners, holiday gatherings, and celebrations. The layout offers exceptional flexibility. Multiple bedrooms provide space for family, guests, and a dedicated work-from-home environment away from the main living areas. The fifth bedroom is notably spacious and can easily serve as an oversized bonus room, media lounge, fitness studio, game room, creative space, secluded guest retreat and more. Outside, the setting feels just as impressive, with over an acre designed for living, entertaining, and storing the extras. This provides the freedom you've been looking for to enjoy outdoor living without sacrificing privacy or storage. There is ample room for a boat, trailer, camper, and other recreational equipment, making this an ideal property for buyers who want to keep their coastal lifestyle close at hand. A 50-amp RV outlet is already installed along the side of the home for added convenience. The backyard offers features rarely found together, including a greenhouse for gardening and a multiple-swing feature that creates a distinctive place to gather, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether the vision is elegant entertaining, weekend projects, family recreation, or quiet evenings beneath the Carolina sky, the space is already here. Watercrest Landing places you close to the best of Swansboro while preserving a sense of openness and retreat. Historic downtown, waterfront dining, marinas, boating, fishing, and kayaking are all within convenient reach. Hammocks Beach State Park, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the beaches of Emerald Isle are nearby, making days on the water and spontaneous trips to the coast part of everyday life. For buyers searching for acreage, architectural presence, flexible living space, and quick access to the water and beach, this home offers a combination that is difficult to find and even harder to replace.
