*See Video Tour below* Waterfront living with a modern coastal vibe in this rare TURNKEY forever home in the highly-sought Neuse Harbour neighborhood on the Neuse River in New Bern, NC. This custom-built home is solid and has been recently updated with unparalleled attention to detail and is truly one of a kind. Dreamy & nestled perfectly on a high, beautifully landscaped lot in a no-flood zone with a raised slab foundation (no worrisome crawlspace), spacious 3-car garage, horseshoe driveway and water views that go on for miles! The breathtaking views continue w/natural light streaming throughout this home full of upgraded windows & doors where you'll find an abundance of versatile living spaces. In the heart of the home: a top of the line kitchen with high gloss lacquered Downsview cabinetry contrasting perfectly with 2'' solid walnut countertops & open shelving, an integrated Sub-Zero drawer fridge & Bosch DW, a pro-series Thermador range and a recessed Zephyr hood where no views are sacrificed! Additional features: easy access entrance, 4 bedrooms (2 up, 2 down), all season sunroom, 3 modern natural gas fireplaces, jaw-dropping solid walnut doors, stunning high ceilings & coastal hardwood floors, 1st floor primary bedroom & bath that is a personal retreat of its own (copper tub, walk-in shower & floating vanities), inviting 12 ft window seat, finished bonus room, and additional 2nd floor family room. Long-lasting beauty lies in the details, and efficient living was not forgotten. The efficient Geothermal HVAC keeps the electric bills astoundingly low with a 14 mo. avg. of $95! The upgraded roof w/adhesive membrane underlay & hurricane-rated polymer shake siding add to the extensive attention to quality in this rare gem! Finally, a waterfront backyard that is a personal sanctuary where you can see dolphins & shorebirds from the large deck w/serene views, sandy 100' shoreline, bulkhead, and limitless opportunities!
