Voted ''Best Town You've Never Heard Of'' by Southern Living, historic downtown Washington is one of coastal North Carolina's most charming hidden gems and this beautiful townhome-style 3BR/3BA places you in the heart of it all, with captivating views of the Pamlico River and marina. Imagine mornings on your private balcony as the sun rises over the water in the distance and evenings unwinding as boats drift through the marina under golden skies. This is waterview living designed to be experienced, not maintained. Inside, natural light fills the open-concept layout, creating a space that feels both elegant and inviting. The kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar perfect for gathering. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly to a covered second-story porch where the water views become your everyday backdrop. Thoughtfully designed across three levels, the home includes a main-level guest ensuite for privacy and convience. The third-floor primary suite is a true retreat with sitting area, private waterview balcony, spacious walk-in closet and spa-style bath with soaking tub and tiled shower. A second upstairs bedroom also enjoys its own full bath and private porch overlooking the marina. The ground-level bonus room adapts to your lifestyle as a home office, media room, gym or potential fourth bedroom. A two-car garage and pre-installed elevator shaft add convenience and future-ready accessibility. Steps from the waterfront boardwalk, boutique shops, restaurants and live music, this location captures the very best of coastal downtown living. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate nearby slips available for rent or purchase, along with a convenient kayak launch for morning paddles. No flood insurance required. HOA covers exterior maintenance, including roof and homeowners insurance, giving you the freedom to enjoy the view without the upkeep. This isn't just a home. It's a lifestyle.
