Merritt - Beach Property For Sale #7305144

Coastal character meets modern construction at 687 Alligator Creek Road in Merritt, NC. Designed with intention, the owner wanted the charm and historic feel of an older coastal cottage while enjoying the durability of a home built in 2001 -- and that vision was beautifully achieved. Situated on 1.4 acres in Pamlico County, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,150 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Built with pressure-treated floor joists and pressure-treated subfloor on the first level, the home was constructed with longevity in mind. Where the home is located, flood insurance is not required, adding additional value and peace of mind. Inside, you'll find tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings, wood floors, tile accents, and custom cabinetry featuring hand-detailed copper inlay. The design reflects timeless character while benefiting from modern systems and efficiency. A durable metal roof adds longevity and that classic Carolina sound on rainy days. The home features central HVAC along with two additional mini-split systems -- one upstairs and one downstairs -- offering enhanced efficiency and flexible temperature control. A 10KW Generac generator with transfer switch provides dependable backup power, and a wired ADT security system with cameras and window motion sensors is already installed. Enjoy outdoor living from the covered front and back porches overlooking peaceful surroundings. The circular driveway offers easy access and room for guests, boats, or recreational vehicles. A 24' x 24' wired workshop with concrete flooring provides excellent space for hobbies or storage, along with an additional 12' x 12' outbuilding. Located minutes from area boat ramps, the Pamlico Sound and Neuse River, this property captures the relaxed coastal lifestyle Pamlico County is known for. Schedule your showing today.
