Waterfront home was high and dry during Florence. The home is not in an AE flood zone and does not require flood insurance. Nestled on an inlet from Slocum Creek, the waterfront has direct access to the Neuse River. Spacious five-bedroom three full bath all brick ranch features spectacular waterfront views, floor to ceiling windows, classic wide fluted hardwood trim, solid wood six panel doors and crown molding throughout. A sprawling veranda runs the length of the rear of the home on the main level. At more than 3,700 square feet of heated living space, virtually every room and accommodation is oversized. Built in 1969 with an eye on quality construction this mid-century modern ranch has a pleasing blend of contemporary and colonial styling. The foyer features hardwood floor, two coat closets and a wide stairwell with stained hardwood banisters. The bright light filled kitchen features two casement windows with water views, rich oak raised panel cupboards with multiple lazy Susan and pull out drawer accommodations, an oversized French door refrigerator, double ovens, a substantial pantry and a convenient side door entrance. The formal dining room features nine-foot ceilings, wood burning fireplace, chair rail, sliders to the rear veranda with breathtaking views. The master bedroom and bath follow the pattern of spectacular water views, bright sun filled space, & ample closets. The lower level boasts a family room with sliders to a covered patio, three bedrooms two of which have walk in closets, a laundry room with deep sink and exterior access, and a bonus room that could be outfitted as additional living space or a theater, studio or workshop. The rambling 1.14 acre lot has 280 feet of waterfront 155 feet of which is secured by bulkhead. Plans for attached garage included. Utility shed added in 2016 is outfitted with electric service. This feature packed property is an extraordinary value.
