Set within the lakefront community of Lakes of Antioch, this thoughtfully updated home blends elevated design with meaningful improvements that offer peace of mind. One-story living anchors the main level, where an open-concept layout unfolds beneath a soaring cathedral ceiling, creating a bright and inviting space for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The living area features an electric fireplace with built-in shelving, flowing seamlessly into the dining space and beautifully refreshed kitchen. Granite countertops pair with premium stainless Bosch appliances—including an induction range and refrigerator—alongside a Gaggenau dishwasher and newer microwave, delivering both style and performance. Direct access from the dining area leads to a large, fenced backyard complete with a detached shed, extending your living space outdoors. The primary suite offers a private retreat with its own cathedral ceiling, spacious walk-in closet, and en suite bath featuring a jetted tub, walk-in shower, dual-sink vanity, and updated mirrors. Two additional guest bedrooms—one with a vaulted ceiling—provide flexibility for a variety of needs. Upstairs, a finished bonus room with a closet adds valuable extra space, enhanced by a newly installed mini-split system for year-round comfort. Extensive recent updates elevate both aesthetics and function. The interior—including ceilings, walls, doors, trim, and cabinetry—has been professionally painted with Sherwin Williams premium paint. Enhanced LVP flooring with upgraded underlayment spans the first floor, complemented by updated carpet in all three first-floor bedrooms and the bonus room. Additional improvements throughout offer confidence in the home's upkeep. A covered front porch, attached two-car garage with freshly painted interior and epoxy-coated floor, and no city taxes further enhance the appeal. All of this in a desirable lakefront neighborhood just minutes from shopping, dining, and historic downtown New Bern.
