A lovely three-bedroom charmer near Oriental with everything you've wanted! Presiding over a sylvan corner in the desirable Sail/Loft neighborhood, the residence is placed and angled perfectly, allowing enjoyment of the grounds and the home's unique beauty. The creative use of materials (brick, faux-stucco, wood and vinyl) imparts an elegantly-distinctive appearance with a slight Tudor flair! An efficient layout welcomes you from the tiled foyer into the cozy living room (fireplace and window bank) and formal dining room. A huge country kitchen is brightened by an impressive bow-window arrangement, whose curve invites sunny morning views of the peaceful back yard. Kitchen features abound, such as new granite counters, lots of cabinetry, tile backsplash, gas center-island range and a large area which makes a splendid gathering area or alternate dining room! From the kitchen, a short hall leads to the large mudroom, 1/2 bath, laundry room, garage and the private 6' x 16' screened porch! Although the carpeted downstairs bedroom is currently the master bedroom, the expansive upstairs (w/ separate heat pump) makes for an exceptional suite. It offers a large walk-in shower in the luxury bathroom and a corridor to a large finished room over the garage... (Think game room or exercise area) with a full potential flight of stairs to the garage - the stairway is currently shut off, but might be reopened as secondary access with a minimum of fuss. This home was artfully designed with flourish and careful consideration for abundant storage and flexible use of space! The grounds are lovely with enough large trees nearby to impart a shady overstory of woods yet lots of sunshine. Concrete driveway, Andersen windows, metal roof and a short bike ride to the Village and the marinas. As unique and beautiful as the ''Good Life'' should be in Oriental and Pamlico County!
