210 Upchurch Drive Newport, NC 28570

This charming waterfront home with 87' dock is SO close to the ICW that it feels like a first row home. It's situated on a canal that is navigable during mid to high tides, and could take a skiff or kayak to the ICW. Located in a private setting, with a light-filled Southern exposure, this is the quintessential ''Not So Big'' house, with thoughtful, high-end details and gorgeous water views throughout. The house, originally built in the 1930's, was moved to this location in 1988 and set on pilings. The current owners did a massive renovation over the past year and
uncovered 3/4'' tongue & groove
beadboard on EVERY wall and ceiling of the original house. They carefully removed, sanded, reinstalled and painted it. Walls were moved, rooms rearranged, and the floor plan was opened up to wonderful views of sparkling water and majestic trees. The new kitchen has a massive custom-made pantry, white cabinets, quartz counter-tops and a stunning Vetrazzo bar top made with recycled glass. The living room wows with its vaulted beadboard ceiling, reclaimed wood collar ties and walls of windows overlooking the water. NOT a cookie cutter house, it is filled with the character and charm of a 1930's home, but with EVERYTHING updated. All new windows, siding, plumbing, electrical, drywall, trim,
doors, cabinets, counter-tops and lighting. Original pine floors (newly refinished) remain in many rooms, and carefully matched reclaimed pine flooring was added in others. Artisanmade Polish tiles adorn the new bathroom. Need a second bathroom? You're in luck! The
current office used to be the original full bathroom, but could be converted back to a second bathroom. A 568 square foot deck with cable railings wraps around the house, offering stunning water views. There's a concrete pad for your boat, an outdoor shower, a detached shed, and a storage room under the house. Plenty of room on this lovely lot to expand the house if desired. No HOA!
