Description
Orchard Creek Estates on Peninsula Drive is a quiet, safe community with 29 lots–16 full-time residents, 6 part-time, and 7 unbuilt. The peninsula is surrounded by Orchard Creek, which meets Bright and Pasture Creeks before flowing into the 5-mile-wide Neuse River. The area is known for fishing, with trout, drum, flounder, shrimp, and even dolphins frequenting the waters. Utilities are underground, including Brightspeed fiber and Spectrum cable.The .8-acre lot sits 4-6 feet above mean high water, with an additional .1-acre septic drain field. Natural wetlands provide privacy and erosion control. The home’s elevated foundation protects against flooding (survived hurricanes without water intrusion). A 100-ft concrete dock features a double-wide section with tie-up pilings, 30-amp power, water, and Wi-Fi. New granite block riprap was installed in 2023. A buried 250-gallon propane tank supports the home. The septic system is state-inspected biannually.The oversized (25′ x 28′) two-car garage includes storage, a sealed floor, and truss-supported ceiling (no pillars). It houses a 2025 water heater, a Kinetico water filtration system, electrical panels (generator-ready), and a centralized TV/ethernet panel. A hot water recirculation system ensures instant hot water.The mudroom (Opus Ivory tile) connects to the pantry, powder room, and kitchen. The open-concept kitchen features GE Profile SS appliances, granite countertops, two sinks, and Moen brushed nickel fixtures. The great room has oak floors, a gas fireplace, and water-facing windows. A covered porch leads to two decks–one for grilling and another screened-in.The upstairs includes two 11′ x 15′ bedrooms, a full bath, and attic access. The master suite has a dressing area, walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath with a Roman-style shower, Jacuzzi, and quartz vanity. The master bedroom opens to a second screened porch, wired for a hot tub, with outdoor shower access.
