    What's special

    Waterfront home on scenic Buxton Creek, offering easy access to the Pamlico Sound and Intracoastal Waterway and a relaxed coastal lifestyle. This well-maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence combines quality construction, thoughtful updates, and inviting outdoor living in a peaceful creekfront setting. Carefully maintained and improved, the home features a metal roof, updated HVAC system, newer kitchen appliances, and generator-ready wiring. Elevated in 2004, the home provides excellent protection along with a finished enclosed area beneath, ideal for storage, hobbies, or workshop space, complete with built-in workbenches, extensive shelving, a propane wall heater, and covered parking for two vehicles. Two shop doors were replaced in 2025. Inside, the updated kitchen offers soft-close cabinetry and a dual-fuel range, while the living area is comfortable year-round with a mini-split system, propane parlor stove, and sliding glass door leading to outdoor spaces. The hot water heater was replaced in 2024, adding to the home's list of recent improvements. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a covered porch and deck overlooking Buxton Creek—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Boaters will appreciate the boathouse with a 16,000-lb lift and new roof (2025) and approximately five feet of water depth at the dock, making time on the water convenient and enjoyable. Additional features include LeafFilter gutter protection and low-maintenance exterior finishes. Whether used as a full-time residence or a waterfront retreat, this property offers a comfortable, well-cared-for home in a quiet creekfront setting with excellent boating access.
