Property Description

Perfectly positioned along the peaceful, tree-lined shores of Hoods Creek on 1.4 acres, this stunning custom-built brick residence offers an elevated blend of timeless design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and serene waterfront living--without the requirement of flood insurance. Meticulously maintained by its original owner and never impacted by flooding, this 3,078 square foot home exudes quality and comfort at every turn, all while being just minutes from the charm, dining, and conveniences that New Bern has to offer. Inside, rich hardwood floors flow throughout the main living spaces, complemented by extensive crown molding, detailed dentil molding accents, and high baseboards that add a refined architectural touch. The welcoming foyer opens to a private office and an elegant formal dining room adorned with classic wainscoting and chair railing, setting the stage for both everyday living and special gatherings. The living room serves as a true centerpiece, featuring a gas log fireplace with a brick masonry chimney, custom detailed mantel, and beautifully crafted surrounding built-ins, creating a warm yet sophisticated focal point. The kitchen is equally impressive, designed with both style and function in mind--complete with stainless steel appliances, a central island, tile backsplash, striking black granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, and a light-filled breakfast nook overlooking the natural surroundings. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat, offering private access to the screened porch and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with dual vanities, an oversized soaking tub, walk-in shower, and an expansive walk-in closet with exceptional storage. Two additional guest bedrooms are located on the main level and share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath, while a separate full guest bathroom on the first floor adds flexibility for visitors. Upstairs, a versatile bonus room provides the perfect space for a media room, playroom, or hobby area, along with excellent walk-in attic storage. Additional features such as a central vacuum system, dual HVAC units, a Rinnai water heater, and a stand-up crawlspace with dehumidifier enhance everyday ease and efficiency. Head outside to the expansive screened porch, where you can relax and take in the peaceful waterfront setting surrounded by the beautifully maintained yard complete with an irrigation system. A detached workshop, built in 2020 (28x22), is equipped with power, water, and its own heat pump, making it an ideal space for projects, storage, or creative pursuits. The property also allows you to navigate a skiff or bay boat from the Trent River right to your private dock on Hoods Creek.
