3497 Bassett St SW Shallotte, NC 28470

Thoughtful craftsmanship, curated coastal design, and a rare double lot meet along the water at 3497 Bassett St SW. Situated on a double lot totaling 0.63 acres within the established Shell Point and River View area, this 2,099-square-foot single-level ranch residence offers an exceptional, open floor plan. The experience begins at the covered front porch, detailed with a brick skirt and distinct cornice and beam accents beneath a ceiling painted in traditional coastal Haint blue. A large wood front door with a light-admitting window opens into the interior, which features beautiful LVP wood floors and a dedicated home office that offers the flexibility to be closed in as a third bedroom. The central family room is anchored by custom built-ins and detailed beam ceilings, connecting seamlessly to the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen serves as a premium centerpiece, complete with white cabinetry, a contrasting architectural accent island with seating, a five-burner gas range, an appliance stack with a built-in oven and microwave, and a large walk-in pantry. From the main living area, double sliders lead out to a three-season Carolina room and a separate raised deck, both perfectly positioned to frame views of the river wetlands. This water-facing orientation continues into the primary suite, which features a large window overlooking the marsh and river, paired with a substantial bath complete with a makeup vanity, a standalone tub, a separate shower, and a private water closet. Outside, the double-lot backyard transitions into a nature lover's playground, featuring an extensive private pier, a dedicated deck space with a pergola roof and seating, and a floating dock designed for effortless kayak launching. A two-car attached garage and a separate detached garage complete this updated waterfront footprint along one of our region's most pristine coastal river corridors.
