Description
THE FINEST PROTECTED HARBOR ON THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY. AND THE BEST HOUSE ON IT. 76 Soundside Drive is a 2023-built waterfront residence in Oriental, North Carolina, the Sailing Capital of North Carolina: 3,843 heated square feet, nearly 6,500 square feet under roof, on 1.89 private acres with approximately 100 feet of protected deep-water frontage on Grace Harbor at River Dunes (ICW Mile 173). Engineered for the coast, not just placed on it: insulated concrete form (ICF) construction with reinforced concrete walls, commercial-grade stone seawall, standing-seam metal hip roof, whole-home generator, and fiber internet with Starlink backup. The single-level floor plan puts water views in every main living space and includes two waterfront primary suites, each with French doors opening to the harbor, plus a directly connected flex room. Above the oversized heated 3-car garage, a finished bonus suite of approximately 1,100 square feet with wet bar serves as guest quarters, media room, or office. The signature space is a 1,400-square-foot covered and screened veranda with a double-sided fireplace and vented grilling station, overlooking the harbor. It functions as a true second living room, usable across all four seasons on the Inner Banks. Grace Harbor is a 400-slip protected inland-basin marina rated among the finest stops on the entire Intracoastal Waterway, a proven hurricane hole with floating ipe docks accommodating vessels to 150 feet, with immediate access to the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound. River Dunes is a 1,345-acre Southern Living Inspired Community with 14 miles of shoreline, a 328-acre conservation easement, Harbor Club dining, Yawls Cafe, fitness center, pool, and tennis. New Bern and its regional airport are about 35 minutes. For buyers searching protected deep-water homes, hurricane-resilient ICF coastal construction, or turnkey Intracoastal Waterway living in North Carolina, this is the benchmark. Shown by appointment.
