About this House

Tucked away on a peaceful lane near Beaufort, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom manufactured home proves that comfortable coastal living doesn't have to come with a jaw-dropping price tag. Well maintained and move-in ready, it arrives furnished (with a few exclusions), so you can spend less time unpacking and more time exploring the natural wonders that surround you.

Outdoor living takes center stage here. Sip your morning coffee on the welcoming front porch, then retreat to the rear screened porch when the afternoon breeze rolls in and the mosquitoes come calling. A handy storage shed keeps your gear organized, while the carport is ready to shelter your boat--a must-have detail for anyone who takes their weekends seriously. The paved driveway adds a polished, low-fuss finishing touch.

Nature lovers, take note. North River Wetlands Preserve sits practically at your doorstep, offering scenic trails and birdwatching just minutes away. For those who chase the water, Harkers Island Public Boat Ramp puts endless fishing and boating adventures within easy reach, and the iconic shores of Cape Lookout beckon a short trip south. The convenient proximity to East Carteret High School is an added benefit, too.

This quiet neighborhood delivers that laid-back eastern Carolina rhythm, where days move a little slower and the salt air feels a little sweeter. If you're hunting for an affordable coastal getaway, this charmer checks the boxes without stretching your budget.

Come see what easygoing living really feels like.
