This fully furnished 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home sits on a full acre and is designed to take full advantage of its natural surroundings, with expansive views of the water and marsh visible from nearly every room. The exterior is finished in durable composite siding, and recent updates include hurricane-rated windows throughout, a new irrigation system, and a roof replaced in 2020. Inside, the open-concept layout features maple flooring, soft neutral tones, and generous natural light. The living area flows seamlessly into a casual dining space and a clean, functional kitchen with granite countertops and white cabinetry--ideal for relaxed everyday living or hosting guests. Each bedroom offers comfort and privacy, while the four bathrooms provide flexibility for family and visitors. Outdoor living is a defining feature of this home, with multiple decks, a screened porch, and upper balconies that overlook the lush maritime landscape. A private boardwalk winds from the back of the home through the greenery to an upgraded gazebo and private dock, offering direct access to the sound for kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying quiet evenings by the water. A golf cart is included for convenient trips to the beach access just down the street. Located in a quiet, established neighborhood known for its natural beauty and community feel, this home offers a thoughtful blend of comfort, coastal lifestyle, and long-term value--ideal as a primary residence, vacation home, or investment in one of Emerald Isle's most desirable settings.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
