There's more than meets the eye at this custom-built brick home! A traditional street fa�ade gives way to a stunning open floor plan that takes full advantage of exceptional views offered by the wide open waters of the Albemarle Sound. A welcoming foyer invites you into a magnificent great room - featuring a custom-built cherry fireplace and entertainment center, 14' ceilings, and a wall of windows that extends into the kitchen. The great room is open to a formal dining area, and a spacious eat-in kitchen - featuring cherry cabinets, granite countertops, stainless appliances, ample storage, and copious amounts of natural light. A porch off the kitchen is a lovely dining area, and a perfect place to enjoy waterfront breezes. An office - separated from the great room by glass paneled pocket doors - boasts a lovely arched window, handsome built-ins, beadboard wainscoting and plenty of space for 2 work stations. The large master bedroom features a tray ceiling with accent lighting, and access to a private deck overlooking the Sound. The master bath offers an oversized shower, Jacuzzi tub, and cherry cabinetry. A guest room and full bath are across the hall. Behind the kitchen, a hallway leads to a useful utility room - with exterior access for convenience when coming inside from yard work or water play. A finished room over the garage provides the house's 3rd bedroom, with access to a full bath at the base of the staircase. The 2 car garage is oversized, and the panel inside has been hardwired to accept a generator. An outbuilding is currently used for lawn equipment and storage, but could easily be workshop or studio space. A pier with a conversation area and steps into the water is in place. The property has been thoughtfully and beautifully landscaped, and the house impeccably maintained. A real MUST SEE!
