108 Mariners Court

About this home

Situated along a canal with direct access to the Trent River and on to the ICW, this two-story brick home offers the kind of lifestyle many buyers are searching for -- mornings on the water, afternoons on the boat, and evenings unwinding on the deck. Since purchasing the home, the current owner has made strategic improvements to enhance both comfort and function over the years. Updates include replacement windows (Anderson windows) with plantation shutters (the plantation shutters were added to the kitchen in 2020 and to the 2nd floor in 2023), granite countertops in the kitchen, refaced cabinetry (2017), updated kitchen appliances, installation of a water softener (2018), and the conversion of the fireplace from wood burning to propane for cozy evenings at home. Outside, a new deck was built (2013), the roof was replaced (2013), and the seawall was repaired and updated (2023), creating an ideal space to enjoy the waterfront setting. A boat lift is also in place for easy days on the water. Inside, the home offers warmth and character throughout. The step-down living room features built-in bookshelves and a wood box beside the fireplace, adding both charm and practicality. A laundry room with a built-in ironing board and generous storage throughout the home reflects the thoughtful design of the space. The home is equipped with geothermal heating and air for efficient year-round comfort, which was replaced (without a permit) following Hurricane Florence. While water entered the crawlspace during the storm, no water entered the living areas of the home, per the seller, and appropriate work was completed afterward. The home is located in a high risk flood zone. An additional room with a full bathroom and private entry through the garage offers flexible space for guests or a private retreat. This area is not included in the primary heated square footage but adds valuable versatility to the property at 279 sq. ft. I was unable to locate a permit for the full bathroom added to this space. With its waterfront access, extensive improvements, and distinctive character, this home offers both a comfortable place to live and a gateway to coastal North Carolina living.
