Character and comfort define this sweet mid-century waterfront cottage with location and river views to die for! This compact home lives large, with great features including a practical split floorplan with just-carpeted primary bedroom with walk-in closet and en-suite bath on one side, and two additional bedrooms on the other. Central is a cozy knotty-pine den with woodburning fireplace and center hall with second full bath and entry to the screened porch and deck. The kitchen with eat-in bar leads to a dedicated dining room with built-ins, big enough for everyone to gather for fun evenings of friends-and-family dinners or games. You'll love the large screened porch and deck overlooking the wide waters of the Pamlico River! There's storage room to spare with numerous closets and enclosed space under the house. Step outside to a large, nicely -landscaped yard and newer bulkhead, and a private sandy beach. Perfectly-sized for a weekend getaway or seasonal home, and a solid history as a short-term rental. If you're looking for affordable and comfortable waterfront this gem checks the boxes. Summer is coming - it won't last long.
