This home has never been on the market, and the Sellers picked out this land back in 1982. They chose it for it's spectacular views and high ground overlooking Bath Creek and the Pamlico River. The beautiful home was added just a few years later, and they settled in and raised a family in this very special spot. As the family grew, so did the home - and a spectacular Great Room, Game Room/Workshop, screened porch, granite countertops,and even an inground saltwater pool were added. Memories were easy to make here, summers of sailing and fishing for the kids, backyard BBQ's and neighborhood friends. Blackbeards View in Bath is known for it's great little neighborhood, it's deep water (sailboat ready!), and the security that comes with having a home on high ground.
This home is loaded with details, and the walkway to the front door is lined with colorful landscaping. A great blue Heron weathervane sits on top of the home, plated with copper and gold leaf. Decorative etched glass windows flank the front door, and the entry is large and inviting. The home is close to 4000 square feet, but it feels cozy and very liveable. A curved staircase leads from the entry to a Great Room with a beamed vaulted ceiling and lined with bookcases. This room overlooks the water and is almost 500 square feet. Below the Great Room is a fantastic workspace or Game Room. It is heated and cooled, loaded with cabinets - and has large double doors leading to the backyard. The possibilities are endless for this room - add a Pool table, make it your office, create a marvelous studio or keep it as a workshop. The Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen are all one big open space , and the views from the Anderson windows are spectacular. Two of the four bedrooms in this house are Master bedrooms, one on each floor. The main level Master Bedroom has beautiful corner windows and a special nook for a desk, the upstairs Master has sweeping water views of Bath Creek. There is a large tiled walk in shower for the Master, and an additional bathroom upstairs for the other two bedrooms. A total of three large bathrooms means plenty of room for everyone - and there's even a laundry chute that drops down into the first floor Laundry Room! There are two very large pantry's off of the kitchen, a mudroom, and an enormous cedar closet upstairs for loads of extra storage. A new roof was put on in 2019, the exterior of the home was painted in 2018, and the interior paint was just completed. There are three zoned HVAC's, wiring for a Generator, and a shared deepwater dock with the neighbor. Outside, the fun is just getting started with the special screened porch just off the kitchen. Relax in the hammock chairs and take in the boats and marine life out on the water. The inground saltwater pool is special, and has concrete decking around it. A solar cover keeps it warm for most of the year, and it's placement on high ground is ideal. There is an attached awning that easily slides out to provide additional shade on the open deck when needed. This is a beautiful place to make your home, to raise your family, to share with your grandchildren, or just to call up all your friends for a wonderful time on the water. Come and see why Blackbeards View is so special!
