An exquisitely remodeled and improved residence on a lovely lot near the Village of Oriental! Although originally built in 1998 (the detached garage/studio ca. 2014), you'll be amazed at all of the thoughtful refinements and additions made since then by the current owner. It really feels like new! Having been elevated well above flood risk in 2025 and integrated with ''smart home'' technology, you'll be delighted with the combination of traditional, yet flexible design and contemporary aesthetics. As you enter the foyer from the welcoming front porch, you'll know you're someplace special... The new LVP flooring used throughout most of the home harmonizes the different rooms beautifully which is evident the moment you walk into the airy, vaulted living room. It is enhanced by a new electric fireplace, 82'' TV and surround sound system. The room flows and opens into the cozy dining area, three-season porch and the spectacular gourmet kitchen! The kitchen is a dream - expansive granite counters, new upper cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances and even a R.O. water pot filler at the stove! The bedroom arrangement features a master suite w/new electric fireplace and lovely bathroom. The guest wing is on the other side of the home, each of the 2 bedrooms having a special feature - one is vaulted, the other has dedicated access to the 12'6'' x 22'6'' sundeck! A finished room above the garage would make a perfect office. The attached garage has its own mini-split heat pump, as does the detached garage/workshop!! The workshop is perfection for the craftsman - storage, sink w/instant hot water and garage doors on both sides... The studio suite above is also served by mini-split and features a full bath and kitchenette area. A more flexible design is hard to envision. The very private backyard is fully fenced for pets and kids and even has a protected garden area !

Waterfront Lifestyle in Oriental with a Boat Slip, Under $500k. A custom, architect-designed single-level home on a landscaped half-acre of protected waterfront on Orient Point: 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1,527 square feet, and not one stair between you and your morning coffee looking out over the water. Your private slip awaits, and so does a new day. The boating setup is classic Oriental: a private slip just steps away. The village's full-service deep-water marinas are minutes away. Oriental Village, the Neuse River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the anchorages of Pamlico Sound are your backyard, with the Outer Banks roughly 32 nautical miles across the sound. The village -- its harbor, shops, cafes, local brewery pub, restaurants, and famously welcoming sailing community -- is minutes away by walk, bike or boat. This is what it's like living in Oriental -- the Sailing and Boating Capital of North Carolina, where the harbor is the town square. This thoughtfully designed home is perfectly small-by-design and without compromise: everything on one level, a dedicated workshop for projects, attached carport, whole-house standby generator, and porches looking over the water made for that morning cup of coffee and the evening light. Offered move-in ready and professionally staged, with refrigerator, freezer, range, washer, and dryer included. For buyers who want nearly a full acre on the creek, and serene privacy, the adjacent 0.46-acre waterfront lot -- with its own marina slip -- is separately available. Flexible closing also available. You may never again see an architect-designed, custom waterfront home like this with a private slip in Oriental for under $500,000. Call now to reserve a showing.
