Escape the HOA and Enjoy Country Living! Tired of cookie-cutter subdivisions and HOA restrictions? Discover the freedom, privacy, and charm of country living in this beautiful home situated on 0.83 acres. From the moment you enter the foyer, you'll appreciate the spacious layout and inviting atmosphere. To the right, the foyer opens into a large great room featuring a vaulted ceiling, custom wood flooring and wood stove, while the kitchen flows seamlessly into the great room and dining area--perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Down the hallway, you'll find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with plenty of closet space. The partially finished basement adds even more flexibility, offering an additional bedroom and full bathroom. The basement is not included in the home's total square footage because it does not have interior access from the main living area. This makes the basement a great rental investment. Originally built in 1986, the home was moved from Emerald Isle in 2007 and completely renovated and updated. Construction features include 2x6 exterior wall studs, 1-inch 4x8 floor sheathing with additional 1x6 planks, and 3/4-inch roof sheathing with additional 1x6 planks. The home also features a 30-year architectural roof, 8-foot ceilings, and a vaulted ceiling in the great room. The home is currently served by a private well, with access to West Carteret Water available. Outside, the spacious backyard provides plenty of room for family gatherings, barbecues, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. There's also plenty of space for your four-legged family members to roam. Beyond the property, watch for whitetail deer and wild turkeys as they move through the wooded area behind the home. And when you're ready for some fun in the sun, public beach access in Emerald Isle is approximately 10 minutes away, giving you easy access to the beautiful Crystal Coast beaches.
