From the Agent: "Perched atop a 31-foot bluff with sweeping water views, this 2,027-square-foot masterpiece blends modern design, sustainable living, and the raw beauty of coastal North Carolina. With a quarter mile of private, navigable waterfront and its own dock, the property offers an intimate connection to the water—whether for sunrise coffee or sunset cruises.

Designed by Kristina Held, a specialist in passive home design, the residence nods to the region’s historic tobacco barns while embracing a contemporary aesthetic.

Inside, the open-plan great room flows seamlessly from the vaulted living space to the dining area and chef’s kitchen, complete with quartzite counters and premium appliances.
