A newer waterfront home, expansive covered outdoor living, and a protected creek setting define this coastal retreat in the Bairds Shores area of Pamlico County. Conveniently located between New Bern and Oriental, the property offers a peaceful connection to the water just minutes from the Neuse River.
Built in 2020 on elevated pilings, the residence offers approximately 2,400 square feet with elevated ceilings, an open-concept layout, quality finishes, and inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Covered outdoor areas extend the living space and provide a sheltered setting for dining, relaxing, and enjoying views of the water and surrounding natural landscape.
Notable amenities include: Thermador 6-burner range with double-ovens, tiled backsplash with pot filler, large granite island, three sets of double-sliding doors facing the water, a huge laundry room with sink and abundant cabinetry, huge walk-in master shower with double-head rain and wand fixture and stained custom wood doors.
Recent improvements include a low-maintenance fiber cement exterior finish including shutters, adding to the home's practical appeal in a coastal environment, new exterior lighting, new cable railings, new whole-home generator, 350 lb. propane tank, all decks re-stained, new custom cabinetry in the laundry room, front landscaping and boulders added around dock, new dishwasher and shower fixtures. For the workshop: new metal roof and exterior painting and new mini-split heat and air. The residence itself is positioned outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area and captures both the beauty and practicality of coastal living.
For boating enthusiasts, the property is exceptionally well equipped with deep water access and a substantial hog-slat concrete dock boasting a 20,000-pound boat lift--direct access to the Neuse River and beyond--all framed by bulkhead and undeveloped marsh. In addition, a gated community boat ramp is available for a small yearly fee.
Beyond the waterfront, scale, privacy and flexibility (no HOA), a workshop and garage space with a concrete dog-run and fencing.
Offered with Lots 1 and 2, the home provides an opportunity to purchase the residential portion of a larger waterfront estate without acquiring the adjoining barn property (Lots 3 & 4 Howells Rd). This offering focuses on the residence, its waterfront setting, and the ease of enjoying a newer coastal home.
The adjoining waterfront Lots 3 and 4, including the two-stall barn with tack room and hay storage, are available separately. Buyers seeking additional space or equestrian infrastructure may explore purchasing both offerings together through the combined listing (1002 Howells Road), subject to availability.
Whether used as a full-time residence or a coastal retreat, this home brings together newer construction, generous outdoor living, and a quiet waterfront setting within convenient reach of two of Eastern North Carolina's distinctive communities.
