River Home For Sale

Quiet coastal elegance defines this refined waterfront retreat, where year-round living unfolds at the gentle pace of the water. Set along Whittaker Creek just moments from the heart of Oriental, the home is designed for those who center their days around boating, calm mornings, and unhurried evenings. Brick construction on over 1 acre and a timeless one-story layout offer a sense of permanence and ease, while expansive water views create a daily backdrop that never feels routine. Here, slow mornings begin with coffee by the creek, and boating days end with soft sunsets reflecting across the water. Inside, a foyer-style entry opens into a flowing open-concept design that balances openness with comfort. The kitchen anchors the space with generous counter surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and a sink window perfectly placed to frame the water beyond. Two distinct living areas allow for both gathering and retreat: a spacious main living room with gas log fireplace, built-in shelving, and sweeping creek views, and a cozy den that invites relaxed conversation and connects seamlessly to the sunroom. The enclosed sunroom-complete with skylights, hot tub, and tranquil water views-becomes a year-round extension of the living space, ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection. The private primary suite is thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the setting, offering water views, direct access to the sunroom, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, a well-appointed laundry room with cabinetry, and abundant storage support everyday comfort. Outdoors, a private dock with sailboat access places boating at the center of daily life, while both an attached two-car garage and a detached two-car garage provide flexibility for vehicles, hobbies, or watercraft gear. This is a home that embraces soft coastal elegance and invites you to live fully with the water-every season, every day. Contact us today for your private tour
