    What's special

    Set along the Bay River, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath waterfront home enjoys wide-open water views, steady coastal breezes, and easy access to the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound. With true river frontage, the setting offers a refreshing sense of space and sky--peaceful and expansive, yet just minutes from the village of Oriental. Designed for relaxed coastal living, the home's light-filled interiors are oriented toward the water, creating an easy flow between indoors and out. The kitchen is both functional and welcoming, featuring a hood and GE built-in microwave/convection oven, and an induction range with hood. Recent improvements--including a Daikin HVAC system on the ground level, a Rheem hybrid electric water heater, and a generator-ready electrical panel--bring added comfort and peace of mind. Outdoor living is a defining feature, with a generous deck and screened porch offering the perfect place to enjoy sunrise light, wind-driven water movement, and long, unhurried river days. The roof is approximately seven years old, storage is plentiful throughout, and established perennial gardens add color and texture to the landscape. An additional lot across the road provides space for an outbuilding, workshop, or expanded gardens. Located in Merritt, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy true Bay River frontage at an increasingly hard-to-find value--well suited as a primary residence, second home, or simple boating retreat.
