Welcome to this beautifully restored and meticulously maintained 3,321 square foot 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath coastal retreat located in a protected deep-water cove—ideal for boating and waterfront living. This thoughtfully upgraded home offers a unique combination of charm, quality craftsmanship, and peace of mind through fully permitted renovation and professional remediation following hurricane Helene. The home experienced less than 6 inches of water intrusion. Immediate action was taken with professional drying, multiple chemical treatments, and comprehensive remediation—all permitted and completed by licensed contractors. Post storm: walls were cut to appropriate height, dried/spayed, replaced, painted, NEW Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring was installed throughout along with new trim/base, NEW electrical PANEL was installed, upgraded electrical outlets/switches and NEW ROOF. This spacious layout features two living areas, a dedicated study/office, and a bright breakfast nook off the kitchen and formal dining room. Elegant touches like crown molding and hardwood cabinetry provide warmth and sophistication. The primary suite is a true retreat with access to the study/office, dual closets, a luxurious bathroom offering a spa tub and a separate walk-in shower. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized with plenty of natural light. Step outside to your private backyard oasis: saltwater pool, composite Trex dock and boat lift (previously housed a 25’ Seapro 248 – 3k lbs). The home’s waterfront setting offers both protection and easy access to open water—perfect for avid boaters. This home also offers Hurricane-rated windows and sliders as well as storm shutters, roomy two-car garage and paver circular driveway. This home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully improved, offering a rare opportunity for buyers seeking turn-key coastal living with full transparency and permits. Perfect as a full-time residence, vacation retreat, or investment property, this gem combines safety, style, and value in one of the area’s most desirable boating communities.
