Now offering up to a $3000 lender credit at closing to buyer when using Aleta Ortiz at Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group. Reimagined with the help of thoughtfully designed furnished renderings to showcase its incredible potential, this distinctive Arlington Place property offers an opportunity to envision a lifestyle that is as flexible as it is inviting. Combining the ease of one-level living with the rare addition of a detached carriage house, this home stands apart from others available by offering exceptional space for entertaining, hobbies, creative pursuits, guest overflow, or a private retreat--all within one of Eastern North Carolina's premier waterfront communities. Inside the main residence, an open-concept floor plan is filled with natural light, where tall ceilings and a fireplace flanked by custom built-ins create a warm and welcoming gathering space. The kitchen is designed to be the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a dedicated dining area that flows seamlessly into the living space. Expansive covered porches extend the living experience outdoors, creating inviting spaces to relax, dine, or enjoy the peaceful coastal surroundings. The private primary suite offers a comfortable escape with a walk-in closet and an en suite bath featuring a dual-sink vanity and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for a variety of living arrangements or work-from-home needs. What truly sets this property apart is the detached carriage-style building, a rare feature within Arlington Place that dramatically expands the home's possibilities. The lower level provides an ideal recreation or gathering space, while the finished upper level offers additional flexible living space suited for a studio, office, guest overflow, or countless other uses. Connecting it all is a covered outdoor entertaining area complete with a custom bar, creating the perfect setting for hosting friends, celebrating special occasions, or simply enjoying quiet evenings outdoors. The fenced backyard continues the home's inviting atmosphere with a covered porch, patio, fire pit, and dedicated wood storage, offering multiple spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons. Located within the sought-after waterfront community of Arlington Place, residents enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities including a community pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, walking trails, and convenient access to the Neuse River for boating, kayaking, fishing, and exploring the Carolina coast. Blending versatility, outdoor living, and an unmatched community setting, this is a property that offers far more than a home--it offers the opportunity to create a lifestyle uniquely your own.
