Waterfront Retreat with Private Canal, Big Water Views & Carriage House. Nestled along the Pamlico River, with panoramic views to the Sound, this nearly one-acre Bath, NC retreat blends coastal cottage charm with timeless vintage touches. Designed for water enthusiasts and nature lovers, the property features both a concrete pier with 4+ feet of water and a private protected canal with a boat lift. Enjoy boating, fishing, crabbing and dolphin spotting right from your own backyard. Enjoy the freedom to live your way—no HOA fees, no restrictive rules, and complete control over your property.
The 3-bedroom, 2,150 sq. ft. main home has received multiple updates and upgrades, is light-filled and full of character. Special features include:
• A gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, granite countertops, and tumbled marble backsplash
• Wide plank hand-scraped hardwood floors and coastal neutrals with antique-inspired accents
• A primary bedroom with balcony offering unobstructed water views and a fully renovated primary bath in 2024
• A sun porch and two decks to enjoy river breezes and vibrant sunsets
• Flex room for office or guests, plus a fenced yard
The detached carriage house adds 475 sq. ft of conditioned living space and flexibility with its own kitchen, bathroom, living area, loft, screened porch, and private deck—perfect for entertaining guests and family.
More Extras include:
• A dedicated workshop and charming garden shed
• And for nature lovers—be prepared to inherit a thriving population of hummingbirds who return year after year for the feeders and blooms. Watching them dart through the yard and hover at the porch is a daily joy.
• Just minutes to a marina, public boat launch, and the historic waterfront towns of Bath and Belhaven
This inviting riverfront haven is more than 2625 square feet of conditioned living space between the primary home and carriage house. More than a home—it's a lifestyle. Owners are licensed Realtors.
