A custom, architect-designed single-level home on a landscaped half-acre of protected waterfront on Orient Point: 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1,527 square feet, and not one stair between you and your morning coffee looking out over the water. Your private slip awaits, and so does a new day. The boating setup is classic Oriental: a private slip just steps away. The village's full-service deep-water marinas are minutes away. Oriental Village, the Neuse River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the anchorages of Pamlico Sound are your backyard, with the Outer Banks roughly 32 nautical miles across the sound.

This thoughtfully designed home is perfectly small-by-design and without compromise: everything on one level, a dedicated workshop for projects, attached carport, whole-house standby generator, and porches looking over the water made for that morning cup of coffee and the evening light. Offered move-in ready and professionally staged, with refrigerator, freezer, range, washer, and dryer included. For buyers who want nearly a full acre on the creek, and serene privacy, the adjacent 0.46-acre waterfront lot -- with its own marina slip -- is separately available. Flexible closing also available.
