WATER VIEWS OF THE NEUSE RIVER! With over 3200 sf of living space, this thoughtfully designed, custom-built home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 half baths, office, family room with fireplace, and large hobby/mud room off the garage. Located in the quiet, riverside subdivision of Cypress Bay, the corner lot offers sweeping views with mature flowering plants surrounding the house, and a yard full of blueberry bushes, pecan trees, and fruit trees. The two-story foyer opens into an expansive living room featuring a gas fireplace, Juliette balcony, big windows, and French doors leading out to a deck. The large kitchen, with breakfast nook, was updated in 2016 with granite countertops, tile flooring, and an etched-glass pantry door. In late 2021, the appliances were upgraded to stainless steel. The formal dining room can accommodate a large table for epic entertaining possibilities! The first-floor master suite has a vaulted ceiling, large closet, double-sink vanity, jacuzzi tub, and walk-in shower tiled from floor to ceiling. The upstairs bedrooms are situated perfectly for wonderful views and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The family room upstairs has a wet bar and lots of room for furniture to have a great game or media room. One-half bathroom and office space adjoin the family room. There is also a second-floor exit door with a spiral staircase to the outside. Other interior features include etched glass doors on the pantry, master bath shower door and Juliette balcony, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, plantation blinds, beautiful tile flooring, laundry/utility room with sink, pet room with dog doors, closet organizers and a monitoring system (fire & security). Exterior features include a concrete driveway with a pad for boat/RV, outdoor shower, fenced-in side yard, extended 2-car garage with work and potter benches, and a 16 kw generator. Cypress Bay amenities include a community boat ramp, dock with seating, and a sandy beach. This is truly a special property!
