Experience the pinnacle of waterfront living in this impeccably designed one-story home, nestled in Forestshore Estates and just minutes from downtown Oriental. Spanning 2,842 square feet, this stunning residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, featuring a gourmet kitchen equipped with exquisite granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, luxury tiled flooring, high-end stainless steel appliances, a generous center island, a cozy dining area, and a walk-in pantry with ample storage.
Step out onto the screened porch off the kitchen and dining area to enjoy endless views of Broad Creek. Both the formal dining room and the spacious vaulted-ceiling living room—complete with a genuine masonry fireplace with gas logs—face the serene waterfront, seamlessly connected by elegant tile flooring that extends into a stylish family room and the three bedrooms.
The master suite serves as a private retreat, boasting wide water views and direct access to the waterfront deck. Its lavish master bath offers a huge, floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower with dual shower stalls, double vanities, and expansive walk-in closets. An equally spacious laundry room, outfitted with chic cabinets and drawers, doubles as a versatile hobby room or office.
Additional highlights include a 2-car garage, a detached workshop/storage building, an updated roof, a modern HVAC system with ceiling ductwork, and a 20 KW Generac whole-house generator. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the deep-water dock featuring a 50-foot wet slip with 5 feet of controlling water depth and a 10,000-pound low-profile boat lift, complemented by a well for irrigation and a concrete driveway offering abundant parking.
Set amidst a beautifully landscaped yard in a prestigious neighborhood of high-end homes, this waterfront gem truly leaves nothing to be desired.
