Property Description
This breathtaking, custom built waterfront home located within Neuse Harbour is distinguished by its rare combination of navigable riparian waterfront, panoramic water views, exceptionally detailed craftsmanship, and low-maintenance living. A fully renovated Scandinavian-inspired residence that is truly one of a kind. Positioned on a high vantage elevation lot outside of a flood zone with a bulkhead and approximately 100 feet of sandy shoreline with direct water access to historic downtown New Bern, the Intracoastal waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. Inside, 3,700 square feet of refined luxury living space blends clean architectural lines, natural materials, and expansive river views into an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and calming. The home is filled with natural light: all new windows, Marvin sliding glass doors and skylights frame the waterfront setting. Coastal oak hardwood flooring extends throughout, complemented by luxurious solid walnut interior doors and curated lighting. The kitchen itself is both an architectural centerpiece and a chef's workspace, appointed with custom lacquered Downsview European cabinetry, 2 inch thick walnut countertops and shelving, a Thermador dual-fuel professional range, integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration drawers, Bosch dishwasher, and a recessed Zephyr hood that preserves the views. A striking double-sided, natural gas fireplace elegantly connects the kitchen and great room, flowing seamlessly into a stunning all-season sunroom overlooking the river. The home's floor plan is ideal for everyday living, entertaining, as well as aging in place, offering true First-Floor Living. The Primary Suite on the first floor serves as a private retreat with river views and a spa-inspired bath featuring a copper soaking tub, floating lacquer vanities with soapstone countertops, copper sinks, and an elegant porcelain-tiled walk-in shower. A second, generously sized bedroom and additional full bathroom are located on the main level, while additional bedrooms, bathrooms, bonus living areas, and abundant storage upstairs provide versatility for a variety of lifestyles. Equally impressive is the home's energy efficiency, resulting in an average electric bill of $95 per month! Dual Closed-Loop Geothermal HVAC systems with Aprilaire filtration, EcoBee smart thermostats, a Rinnai on-demand water heater, and upgraded insulation work together to deliver exceptional comfort and efficiency. Exterior materials were chosen with the same uncompromising standards, including Certainteed 200+mph rated polymer shake siding, Miami-Dade rated shingles, and a 60mil Self-Sealing Adhesive roof underlayment -- providing outstanding resilience, longevity, and minimal exterior maintenance. Outdoor living is centered around the river with a custom stone fire pit, a private outdoor shower, a large low profile step deck, and mature perennial landscaping. An extra spacious three-car garage and circular driveway provide ample space for family and friends. This exceptional property offers the added advantages of No HOA and No City Taxes while remaining convenient to downtown New Bern, dining, shopping, healthcare, and coastal destinations. Combining premium construction, timeless modern design, unparalleled energy efficiency, true navigable waterfront, and a fully move-in-ready interior, this residence presents a rare opportunity to enjoy luxury waterfront living with enduring quality and ease of ownership.
