457 muddy creek road

Escape to a slower pace of life as you wind your way down bucolic backroads, where the worries of the world seem to fade as soon as you hit the gravel road and Bond Creek comes into view. This raised, two-story farmhouse-style home welcomes you with updated Hardie board siding and a neatly enclosed foundation featuring brand-new insulation (2024). The recently upgraded Trex decking on the stairs and porches sets the tone for the quality and care throughout. Step inside to a warm and inviting log cabin-style interior, where an open floor plan seamlessly connects the living spaces and a main-level primary suite with en suite bath radiates cozy charm. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout the home, which is equally suited to serve as a rustic sportsman's lodge or a bright and airy family getaway, with virtual staging already done to help you envision the possibilities. So much charm that new builds simply can't touch. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, a bonus room, and a second full bathroom. Comfort is ensured thanks to brand-new mini-splits, while a licensed electrician has inspected and upgraded all electrical systems in preparation for market. A new roof, added in 2025, rounds out the home's major improvements, giving peace of mind for years to come. Enjoy over two acres of open land, cast a line from your private pier, or relax in the screened gazebo as the sun sets across the water. Bonus features include a 700 sq ft garage/workshop perfect for tinkering w/ a lean-to greenhouse and 426 sq ft of unfinished space above—perfect for storage, hobbies, or future expansion. The heated/cooled sunporch invites slow mornings with coffee as you watch deer, birds, and other wildlife meander past. And when adventure calls, you're just a short boat ride to the Pamlico Sound and Outer Banks, home to some of the best fishing and water-fowling in Eastern North Carolina. This isn't just a home, it's a place to live the life you've always imagined.
