Welcome to a rare opportunity to create your next chapter in the sought-after Lakes of Antioch community in beautiful New Bern. Now Offering a 1% of loan amount up to $3,000 lender credit when using Aleta Ortiz at Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group! Perfectly positioned on approximately 1.1 acres along the water, this lakefront homesite offers the peace of wide-open skies, shimmering views, and the promise of brand-new construction by a local builder. Designed for effortless living, this thoughtfully planned home offers approximately 2,200 square feet with a bright, open-concept layout and primarily one-level living. The spacious living room features a soaring cathedral ceiling and a cozy fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point for gatherings. The kitchen is planned with granite countertops, white cabinetry and a pantry--blending timeless style with everyday function. The primary suite is privately tucked away and will include an en suite bath with a dual-sink vanity, walk-in closet and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. Two additional guest bedrooms provide comfortable space for family, visitors, hobbies, or a home office, while the upstairs bonus room with its own full bath offers flexible living space to suit a variety of needs. Outdoor living is just as compelling. Enjoy quiet mornings on the covered front porch and relaxed evenings on the covered back patio overlooking the lake. A stamped concrete patio surrounds a fire pit--perfect for gathering under the stars--while a small dock/pier extends your living space to the water's edge for fishing, kayaking, or simply soaking in the view. An attached two-car garage adds convenience, and with no city taxes, you can enjoy added value in this peaceful setting. Located in a lakefront community just minutes from shopping, dining, medical facilities, and historic waterfront charm, this home offers both serenity and accessibility. Best of all, there is still time to personalize the details--making this not just a new home, but a fresh beginning tailored to you. Contact us today for a private showing!
