    What's special

    A Private Coastal Retreat on 10.77 Acres. Nestled within the peaceful setting of Bay Shores Estates, this remarkable 10.77-acre property offers the rare combination of privacy, comfort, and the relaxed coastal lifestyle that defines life in Pamlico County. A welcoming front porch introduces the home's warm and inviting character. Inside, the thoughtful floor plan blends classic charm with comfortable living. A formal dining room with rich wood flooring provides an elegant space for gatherings, while the spacious living room features a gas log fireplace and opens to a screened porch just off the living room and kitchen--an ideal place to enjoy quiet mornings or evening breezes overlooking the surrounding landscape. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor and adjoins an en-suite bath, with direct access to the laundry area and mud room for everyday ease. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, including a Samsung refrigerator, GE dishwasher, and GE range, complemented by solid surface countertops designed for both durability and style. A detached double garage provides excellent space for vehicles, storage, or hobbies and includes two gas heaters, air conditioning, and a hot water heater. The finished upper level features a full bath, sink, and microwave, offering flexible space for a variety of uses. Additional highlights include a metal roof installed approximately two years ago, tile flooring in the den, and carpeted bedrooms. Owners in Bay Shores Estates also have access to a deeded boat slip through the neighborhood boat owners association. While the slips currently require rebuilding, the association offers the opportunity for future boating access to the beautiful waters of Pamlico Sound. With expansive acreage, inviting living spaces, and boating potential, this special property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of Merritt, North Carolina.
