Property Description
Don't miss this charming home in Croatan Crossing! Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this move-in ready property was built with Energy Star features to help keep utility costs down while providing year-round comfort, to include a tankless Rinnai gas water heater. Inside, you'll find a spacious open-concept layout that has been freshly painted, where the living room and kitchen come together beneath vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. A fireplace serves as the focal point of the living area, while the kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinet space, and plenty of room to gather. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for the primary suite, which features a vaulted ceiling, a large ensuite bathroom with both a soaking tub and separate shower, a walk-in closet, plus an additional closet for even more storage. The guest bedrooms are generously sized with large closets, making them ideal for family, guests, or a home office. New carpet was installed in 2023. The attached two-car garage has been enhanced with additional insulation and a window air conditioning unit for added comfort and flexibility. Step outside to enjoy the fenced backyard, which backs directly to the Croatan National Forest for added privacy and a peaceful natural setting. A 10' x 12' storage shed provides plenty of room for lawn equipment, outdoor gear, or recreational toys. Located outside the city limits with no city taxes and not in a flood zone, this home offers an easy commute to MCAS Cherry Point, historic downtown New Bern, and the Crystal Coast beaches.
