Property Description
Enjoy views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean from this direct Soundfront setting in Emerald Isle. An elevated setting requires no flood insurance, and yet allows instant water access for fishing, and watercraft of all types from boats, catamarans, kayaks & jet skies. And beach access is just a few houses away via a boardwalk at Ocean Drive and 17th Street. From the vinyl siding and pickets & railings to the composite porch and pier decking, the Astro-Turf and mulched yard, this thoughtfully designed maintenance free setting allows you to enjoy all the beauty and gifts that the Atlantic Ocean and Bogue Sound waters offer, with little thought or time keeping up with worries of the home. The floor plan has been exceptionally designed with access to sound side decks and stairs leading down to the pier from bed/flex rooms with baths on all 3 levels. At ground level, an oversized double garage with large separate storage room for all those beach and sound toys greets you! Plus, a covered entry to a grand foyer allowing easy access to a full bath, bedroom with walk-in closet and elevator to all levels. A primary bedroom suite on the 2nd level is dressed with remote controlled shades, his & hers walk-in closets with custom made cabinetry, a very comfortable on-suite bath with a huge walk-in shower. The 2nd level also enjoys a laundry room with large sink and cabinetry for all those cleaning items, and 3rd & 4th bedrooms with a Jack & Jill shared bath. The 3rd level has a magnificent great room with bounteous kitchen with work island and seating that's perfect for large family gatherings and entertaining, a breakfast nook, a dining area and a flex room. Nicely furnished and ready to use or rent as a unique investment property.
