Modern waterfront elegance meets Scandi coastal in is this turnkey, completely updated custom forever home on the expansive Neuse River in New Bern, NC. Designed for modern luxury and seamless indoor-outdoor living w/an abundance of versatile living spaces. Location! Thoughtfully positioned on a beautifully landscaped high & deep lot above the water in a no flood zone with a raised slab foundation, the antithesis of a worrisome crawlspace. Parking is a breeze with a 3-car-garage & horseshoe driveway. The backyard is a personal outdoor sanctuary—shorebirds & dolphins can be seen from the large deck w/serene views that go on for miles with a sandy shoreline, bulkhead, and limitless opportunities.
The breathtaking views continue inside w/natural light streaming through expansive glass windows. The soaring ceilings, jaw-dropping solid walnut doors and coastal hrdwd floors add to the luxe details. The top-of-the-line kitchen & dining include integrated appliances (Sub-Zero drawer fridge & Bosch DW) with Downsview cabinetry, thick walnut countertops & shelves, a pro-series Thermador range and a recessed Zephyr hood are the heart of the kitchen where no waterscapes are sacrificed. A DBL FP opens into the Grt rm which leads to an all-season sun-room and is easily accessible from the Grt rm or spacious primary suite. The luxe en suite is a personal retreat of it's own with a copper tub, walk-in shower, and floating vanities. A secondary 1st-floor BR/flex rm boasts a walk-in closet & FP. A super-cozy 12ft window seat embraces the front rm w/an addl. 1st FLR full BA and utility rm. The elegant staircase ascends into an amazing 2nd Flr living room with water views, 3rd FP & 1/2 BA then flows to 2 addl. BRs with a full J&J BA w/2 vanities. A finished bonus RM adds to the flexible spaces. The efficient Geothermal HVAC keep the electric bills astoundingly low w/separate systems for each FLR. Upgraded roof too! This tranquil home has unparalleled beauty and is move-in ready.
