About this home
There are waterfront homes, and then there are properties that completely redefine the way you live. 168 E. River Acres Rd is close to everything but yet a world away from your ordinary river house. Inside, a light-filled, open-concept kitchen, dining and living area brings everyone together while keeping the breathtaking river views front and center. The spacious downstairs primary suite offers a private retreat, complete with a generous walk-in closet and conveniently located laundry room. The kitchen is every host's dream, featuring a professional grade, six-burner Thermador gas range with griddle , because pancake mornings, impromptu dinner parties and everything in between deserve a proper setting. Upstairs features two bedrooms and a jack-and-jill bathroom as well as a bonus room that feels like a crows-nest on a ship perched high with 180 degree river views. But the real magic happens outside, where the home truly lives large in what feels like a second, outdoor living room. From the screened porch to the porch with a hot tub cubby perfect for taking in sunsets, every space offers another reason to stop and think to yourself ''wow that's really some view.'' A sparkling in-ground saltwater pool, swings, fire pit circle and outdoor shower create an outdoor living experience designed for long summer afternoons, sunset cocktails after a boat ride and evenings that somehow turn into unforgettable nights. With 60 feet of bulkheaded Pamlico River frontage, a private pier, boat lift and two jet ski lifts, your next adventure is always just steps away. The home offers comfortable, coastal interiors without the upkeep of an oversized property. A whole-house generator, an upcoming brand-new septic system and a two-bay garage including a climate-controlled man cave with its own mini-split add to the home's exceptional functionality while preserving plenty of storage. And for those dreaming even bigger, an adjacent waterfront lot, offering an additional 93 feet of Pamlico River frontage, will be offered as an additional purchase to the home's buyer first, presenting a rare opportunity to expand your waterfront footprint with room for a guest house, additional residence, tennis court or simply more space to enjoy. Perfectly positioned between the peaceful beauty of the Pamlico River and the conveniences of downtown Washington, with Washington Yacht & Country Club just minutes away, this location truly offers the best of both worlds. Whether you're searching for a full-time waterfront home, a weekend escape or the ultimate place to bring family and friends together, this is a property that makes every day feel a little more like a vacation. The views are unforgettable, the lifestyle is effortless, and the best seat in the house is always outside.
