This adorable cottage will certainly be snatched up quickly. The owners' story has changed, so it's time for them to say goodbye to their happy place. But what a wonderful love story this home can tell! This absolutely charming waterfront cottage awaits to script your own love story, too. Adored for years by Thad & Helen & Family, there's nothing but love, laughter and good vibes in these walls. Now it's your turn to fall in love with this waterfront gem. Boasting unparalleled views that will steal your heart, all you have to do is step inside to discover a meticulously renovated sanctuary that has been decorated to exude warmth and tranquility at every turn. It is truly move-in ready and fully furnished! 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths are well-appointed and the open concept kitchen and great room area includes a sunroom section with 3 walls of windows so you can look up and down the Pamlico River. The expansive deck has plenty of room for entertaining and a retractable awning for those sunny afternoons. Interior features include LVP flooring, updated baths and kitchen with granite countertops and all appliances and a laundry room with washer and dryer included. Fun features outside include a golf cart garage and adorable aqua blue golf cart (to ride in the Bayview July 4th parade), whole-house generator, outdoor shower and a charming front loggia entry. The pier has been recently inspected and restored just in time for boating season --- and there's a swim platform with ladder and boat lift! This listing includes a quarter acre lot across the street with a 3-bedroom septic permit. Current owners considered building a guest house/garage, but use it for overflow parking and as a repair area for the current system if it's ever needed. Owner's flood insurance policy is assumable. If you think this property can be your happy place, pack up your swimsuit and sunscreen and hitch up your boat and trailer and come on down! We're waiting for you on the pier!
