Overview

Description

Welcome to where your future memories are made! This charming 1940's riverfront cottage featuring 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths has everything you need for a good time on the Pamlico River. Walk up the outside stairs to the main living area and you enter the mudroom/laundry room where a walk-in shower makes clean-up convenient and is ideal after a day on the water. Into the main area of the house and to the right you have a quaint kitchen with gas range, SS refrigerator and ample cabinets. Adjacent is a dining room that has sight-lines through the bonus room to the river views. Next, sunlight spills into the living room where a subtle step-down design creates the opportunity for two distinct seating areas. A powder room and main-level bedroom provide flexibility for guests. Upstairs two large bedrooms with window seats overlooking the water and a full bath. Thermal pane windows, wood burning fireplace insert, new downstairs HVAC (2025) make things extra cozy. The outside living doesn't miss either, a screened in porch on the riverside of the home is large enough for dining and relaxing and taking in the stunning sunsets over the water. Underneath a patio is prime for grilling and enjoying river breezes. A wooden pier, bulkhead, and community boat ramp make water access effortless, come drop a crab pot off the dock or take advantage of some of the best fishing and waterfowling Eastern NC has to offer. The features don't end there, ample storage underneath the raised house with built in raised wood shelves, a storage/workshop dream with a multi-room wired shed, and a covered car-port round out all the list of things that will make this house where you want to call home. Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat or a full-time riverfront lifestyle, this cottage delivers charm, function, and unforgettable views.
