An exquisitely remodeled and improved residence on a lovely lot near the Village of Oriental! Although originally built in 1998 (the detached garage/studio ca. 2014), you'll be amazed at all of the thoughtful refinements and additions made since then by the current owner. It really feels like new! Having been elevated well above flood risk in 2025 and integrated with ''smart home'' technology, you'll be delighted with the combination of traditional, yet flexible design and contemporary aesthetics. As you enter the foyer from the welcoming front porch, you'll know you're someplace special... The new LVP flooring used throughout most of the home harmonizes the different rooms beautifully which is evident the moment you walk into the airy, vaulted living room. It is enhanced by a new electric fireplace, 82'' TV and surround sound system. The room flows and opens into the cozy dining area, three-season porch and the spectacular gourmet kitchen! The kitchen is a dream - expansive granite counters, new upper cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances and even a R.O. water pot filler at the stove! The bedroom arrangement features a master suite w/new electric fireplace and lovely bathroom. The guest wing is on the other side of the home, each of the 2 bedrooms having a special feature - one is vaulted, the other has dedicated access to the 12'6'' x 22'6'' sundeck! A finished room above the garage would make a perfect office. The attached garage has its own mini-split heat pump, as does the detached garage/workshop!! The workshop is perfection for the craftsman - storage, sink w/instant hot water and garage doors on both sides... The studio suite above is also served by mini-split and features a full bath and kitchenette area. A more flexible design is hard to envision. The very private backyard is fully fenced for pets and kids and even has a protected garden area ! So many quality features - standby generator, Alexa-ready smart technology features, new decks, patio and more! Excellent curb appeal with wide, gracious front steps and a lovely combination of exterior finishes. A friendly neighborhood also awaits, walking distance to all the coastal charm of Oriental and your dream residence is ready to welcome you home!
