Description

The boating family's dream! Boasting nearly 700' of water frontage from an elevated 2.9 acres one of the area's most distinctive properties is available for the first time ever. When you pull in the driveway, epic old-growth live oak trees overhang your private drive and lead you to one of the most serene properties in Eastern North Carolina — there aren't many settings quite like this. As you step inside the front door, you will be blown away by the massive views of Topsail Island, the Intracoastal...The boating family's dream! Boasting nearly 700' of water frontage from an elevated 2.9 acres one of the area's most distinctive properties is available for the first time ever. When you pull in the driveway, epic old-growth live oak trees overhang your private drive and lead you to one of the most serene properties in Eastern North Carolina — there aren't many settings quite like this. As you step inside the front door, you will be blown away by the massive views of Topsail Island, the Intracoastal Waterway and Virginia Creek. The open concept home features large bedrooms and bathrooms; with two living rooms and space to add a 4th bedroom, the possibilities are endless. The first-floor master suite has a walk-in closet, sauna, and private deck with hot tub leading to the backyard. Step outside to enjoy the views from your saltwater pool and grab a cold drink from the poolhouse. If you're ready to catch a breeze, take a walk down to your boat — there is a dock and lift in place. Just 2000' feet from the ICWW, boaters enjoy the best of both worlds — easy access, but increased shelter from storms. Even better, there is a detached garage/workshop flanked by a large front lawn that could be subdivided to create another waterfront lot with 80' frontage and a potential dock. High and dry, no flood insurance is required. Topsail Schools. No HOA.
