A waterfront sanctuary of enduring elegance, 291 Live Oak Road in Newport, North Carolina, presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic estates along the Crystal Coast. Gracefully poised along Bogue Sound with panoramic Intracoastal Waterway views, this 8,000 sq ft custom residence spans three meticulously designed levels and was engineered for legacy living with commercial-grade ICF concrete construction, Andersen hurricane-rated windows, and a foundation reinforced with deep-set pilings and poured concrete walls. Rich tiger wood floors, imported Italian tile, soaring ceilings, and coffered details complement expansive water-facing windows, flooding the interiors with natural light. The grand living room flows effortlessly into a gourmet chef's kitchen complete with dual granite islands, high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and hand-carved woodwork. A formal dining space and butler's pantry enhance the home's seamless flow for entertaining, while the cherry-paneled office offers a dignified retreat. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with terrace access, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-caliber bath with soaking tub and oversized shower. A fully independent mother-in-law suite on the lower level includes its own kitchen, living and dining spaces, and private entrance—ideal for multigenerational living. Designed for effortless entertaining, the main level accommodates over 35 guests inside and over 120 outside across expansive patios and a 50+ person concrete deck. The 400-ft private dock offers three boat lifts, freshwater, electric, and JetSki station. Retaining walls, oversized Hardie soffits, climate-controlled garages, generator-ready wiring, instant hot water loops, and 14k gold guest bath fixtures complete this modern coastal classic.
