New Bern, NC 28560

Set on a protected canal with quick access to open water, this 3-bedroom, 4-bath waterfront home offers the boating lifestyle that draws people to Fairfield Harbour. A private dock and floating jetski dock with bulkheaded shoreline sits just steps from the back deck, with room to keep your boat right out back. Inside, the great room makes an immediate impression with soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas assisted start, and a wet bar with beverage refrigerator. The open layout flows into a spacious kitchen featuring a large center island with cooktop, double wall ovens, subway tile backsplash with glass accent band, abundant white cabinetry, and a built-in desk area. The adjoining dining space opens through sliding doors to the covered rear deck. The water-facing sunroom is the standout -- a wall of windows frames wide canal views and fills the room with natural light. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main living areas. Upstairs, the primary suite overlooks the water and includes generous closet space and a large en suite bath with jetted tub, dual vanities, and a separate makeup station. An open loft walkway overlooks the great room below. Outdoor living is a major feature here: an expansive covered deck spans the rear of the home, perfect for entertaining or simply watching boats pass. A terraced backyard with stone retaining walls steps down to the waterfront. Stone accents, cedar shake-style siding, a two-car garage, and a circular drive complete the exterior. New fortified roof in 2026. Gated Fairfield Harbour offers 24-hour security, an 18-hole golf course, two marinas, boat ramps and kayak launches, pickleball, tennis, a dog park, 6 miles of walking/biking green space, an on-site restaurant, and 40+ resident clubs all just minutes from downtown New Bern.
