Overview

Where the river meets the sky in a wash of gold and crimson, this extraordinary Neuse River waterfront home delivers luxury living with front-row sunset views and the iconic skyline of historic downtown New Bern as your backdrop. Nestled within Sandy Point--once a quiet waterfront enclave known primarily to boaters, fishermen, and those who appreciated life on the water, now transformed into one of New Bern's most coveted luxury waterfront addresses--this remarkable property offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and breathtaking scenery. With a private dock and sandy beach along the water's edge, every day feels like a retreat. Thoughtfully designed to showcase the panoramic river views, the main living level offers an open-concept layout featuring a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a light-filled dining area, and a beautifully updated kitchen complete with Bosch stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a generous island with beverage refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. The re-screened porch and freshly painted decks create seamless indoor-outdoor living, providing the perfect setting for entertaining or simply relaxing as the sun settles beyond downtown's historic skyline. The owner's suite is a true sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, dual closets, and an updated en suite featuring dual sinks, a walk-in shower, laundry access, and direct porch entry to a hot tub overlooking the river. The hall bathroom has been completely renovated, while the bath adjoining the fourth bedroom has been thoughtfully refreshed. The lower-level suite--with its own fireplace, full bath, kitchenette, private deck, and separate entrance--creates an ideal space for extended stays or visiting guests.
