400 Ragan Rd, Oriental, NC 28571

An artistic waterfront showplace! A quality home, with a fine balance of practical design supplemented with interest, whimsy and creative design!! Master and a guest bedroom are downstairs, upstairs (with separate HVAC zone) are two additional bedrooms and an open area which would function smartly as a children's living/play area or your quiet retreat for contemplation or yoga. Touches from a talented woodworker, as well as an artist and proficient gardener have all left unique additions and given this gorgeous property its graceful charm and livability. Fabulous kitchen for entertaining with beautiful cabinets, stainless steel countertops, large farm sink and custom eat-in bar that is open to the living room! Everywhere you look, you'll enjoy such details as wood floors, ornamental inlays, built-ins, a wood-encased and nautical-themed family room with soaring ceilings and lots of windows! You'll be charmed when you see it! The outside of this property continues to impart a feeling of creativity, relaxation and practicality. Enjoy gentle river breezes on the screened breezeway, tranquil patio areas with warm sunshine and gardens at every corner. A 23' x 27'detached workshop/storage garage is ideal for projects and items you can't fit in the attached 2-car garage! It's a quick stroll past the gardens and down the stone steps to your private dock to check your boat and take off for a day on the water from Oriental's most secure slip! Large landscaped corner lot with a terrific location - easy walk or bike ride to the town beach, parks, stores and restaurants!! The private setting is high and dry, with the home located out of the 100-year flood zone. So much to see and enjoy, if ever a property deserves the ''Must see to appreciate'' moniker, this would be it!
