Welcome to this exceptional 3,684 square foot canalfront residence, designed and originally built by a craftsman known for homes in the Outer Banks. With 2×6 walls, oak hardwood floors, Hardie Board siding, and meticulous attention to detail, this home combines superior construction with an unbeatable location. Positioned on a high bluff approximately 18 feet above canal level, it offers private dock access and stunning water views with quick access to ICWW. Residents also enjoy use of a community boat ramp, adding even more convenience for boating enthusiasts.
117 feet of private canal frontage with deep water access to the ICW—approximately four feet in the center at low tide following a 2024 dredging project. Private dock with replaced platform decking, a new ramp, and a jet ski floating dock installed in 2022. Outdoor living enhanced by a fire pit, rock pathways, and a garden area added in 2025. Exterior painted in spring 2021, with upgraded slats on the front deck and a new brick landing at the front steps. Trees along the property line were removed for storm protection, and a retaining wall was installed along the driveway to control erosion. The first-floor space offers incredible flexibility and income potential. Featuring a kitchenette with upgraded countertops, sinks, fresh paint, and appliances (refrigerator, sink, and microwave), this level can be used as a short-term rental, Airbnb, in-law suite, or game room—perfect for multigenerational living or hosting guests. All kitchen appliances were replaced in 2020, and a reverse osmosis system was added under the sink in 2025. Two HVAC units were replaced in 2022, a third unit was added in 2024, and a Reme Halo Air Purifier was installed on the main floor in 2025. Stair treads were replaced with Trex for durability and modern appeal. This is truly a one of a kind home!
