602 Windward Dr Oriental, NC 28571

Modern home custom designed by Rudd Falconer, architect and built by David Simpson. The dramatic wall of windows is not only aesthetically pleasing, but functional as well, allowing for airflow throughout. The high cathedral ceiling in the great room is accentuated with stained wood to draw the eye upward and conveys a nautical feel. The house is situated on a deep water canal (known to sailors as a ''hurricane hole'') in the town of Oriental, a small fishing village of approximately 900 residents. Oriental, North Carolina is known as the ''sailing capital of North Carolina'', having many more sailboats than residents. There is direct access to the Neuse River and ICW from the canal. The town of Oriental has a very active social life available to residents, as well as a health club in town and a golf club approximately 20 minutes away. The view from the four seasons room overlooking the canal and lush landscaped back yard is relaxing and peaceful. One large and one small office. Skylights on the main living space creating a natural lighting. The oversized partially covered lower deck is perfect for entertaining and outdoor cookouts. The ensuite on the entrance level makes a perfect mother-in-law suite or private guest suite. The laundry/ craft / game room on the entrance level is the perfect place to be creative or play ping pong. This is a must see property. Dumb waiter and a garage that is vented for heat and AC for the handyman. Sail boat docked on the property is negotiable.
