588 e harborside road

This stunning Federal style home by Historical Concepts is true to the era, including the quintessential palladium window but with all modern updates of today. Within River Dunes, this home occupies perhaps the best harborside double lot in the entire development. The home and amenities such as the 2 detached garages, the outdoor dining, outdoor kitchen area and fenced side yard with brick firepit are situated with a remarkable and charming harbor view, but far enough from the docks to avoid the rattle and clatter of rigging. The south facing of the two spacious decks, particularly the deck off the master bedroom, the screened porch off the kitchen and the outdoor dining and barbeque area allow a beautiful view not only of the harbor but throughout the day sunlight, sunrises and sunsets, which are a hallmark of this area. The upland harbor is one of the best 'hurricane holes' in this entire coastal area and provides the best protection available during stormy weather. The house is high and dry, with 3 dedicated ensuite bedrooms and a 3rd floor media room/office/bedroom and full bath, upscale kitchen, butler's pantry with wine fridge, and 2nd fireplace in the keeping room. Your guests will love having their own private suite in the carriage house connected to the main house through a screened breezeway. The traditional living room with brick fireplace and dining room, both off the central hall, complete the style. In addition to the original double garage/carriage house, there is also a single detached garage with a car lift and half bath. For those who want the boating life, the River Dunes harbor leads quickly to big water; the Neuse River, ICW, Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic. Boat slips are available. This will be your family forever home.
