1156 Burnside Road, Manteo

Coastal charm awaits in this lovely custom-built waterfront home with five bedrooms and 3.5 baths, in the peaceful neighborhood of Burnside Forest in Manteo. The private boat dock is ideal for small watercraft, offering access to the Croatan Sound via a canal passing under the small bridge just a few lots away, making it perfect for Jet Skiing, kayaking, and paddleboarding at a moment’s notice. Spanning over 3,600 square feet, this home offers upscale living with picturesque water views throughout. The large family room, featuring cathedral ceilings and a fireplace, connects to a dedicated dining area and a chef’s kitchen, complete with granite countertops and a gas stove. A cozy den leads to a large, screened porch, opening onto a sun deck that overlooks the manicured yard and serene lake. The expansive primary suite boasts a walk-in closet, a private custom-tiled bathroom with dual vanities, and access to the sun deck, where water views create a peaceful retreat. Additionally, a versatile bonus room on this level is currently used as a craft room but could serve as an office, media room, or personal gym. Completing this floor is a powder room off the striking foyer and a convenient laundry room. Upstairs, a dramatic open gallery overlooks the family room, adding to the home’s airy ambiance. Four generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and friends. Two bedrooms share a full hall bath, while the remaining two share a Jack and Jill bathroom with individual vanity areas for added privacy. The second floor also offers stunning water views, and one bedroom includes a small balcony for enjoying the scenery. This meticulously maintained home exemplifies pride of ownership, with thoughtful upgrades such as a new roof this year and a tankless water heater. In 2019, a new bulkhead was installed along the lakefront, and the yard was leveled to enhance its pristine appeal. With its spacious layout, quality finishes, breathtaking water views, fenced backyard, and coastal charm, this turnkey primary home offers a comfortable yet refined lifestyle. Its location near schools, parks, marinas, shopping, restaurants, and the beach makes it truly ideal. This property deserves to be at the top of your list!
