Welcome to an exceptional sound-front sanctuary in the gated community of Emerald Plantation, where refined coastal living meets breathtaking natural beauty. This stunning waterfront residence captures sweeping, uninterrupted views of Bogue Sound, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the iconic Emerald Isle bridge. Imagine days beginning with the soft glow of sunrise reflecting across the water and ending with spectacular sunsets painting the horizon. From your private pier and boat lift, you can be on the Intracoastal Waterway in seconds--perfect for spontaneous sunset cruises, fishing excursions, sunny days on nearby sandbars, or peaceful afternoons crabbing from the dock. When it's time to unwind, the screened porch offers a front-row seat to coastal breezes and panoramic water views. Inside, soaring ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding waterfront and fill the home with natural light. Four spacious bedrooms each feature a private bath, creating comfortable retreats for family and guests, while a versatile bonus room or office provides additional space for work or relaxation. The beautifully renovated gourmet kitchen (2022) blends modern sophistication with everyday functionality--ideal for everything from casual breakfasts before the beach to evenings entertaining friends. Recent upgrades include luxury vinyl plank flooring and carpet (2021), a new water heater (2025), a 7,000-lb boat lift (2023), and the added peace of mind of a whole-house generator. Residents of Emerald Plantation enjoy a pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, playground, boat ramp, day dock, and boat storage. Restaurants, shops, groceries, and the local movie theater are just a short stroll or golf cart ride away. And the beach is so close you can hear the soothing rhythm of the ocean waves rolling in. This is more than a home--it's an invitation to experience the elegance, serenity, and adventure of waterfront living on Emerald Isle.
