173 Salter Drive

Wonderful waterfront opportunity on the ICWW/Bogue Sound in Newport that offers incredible views without breaking the bank. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with over 1,700 heated square feet includes additional flexible living spaces and is designed to take full advantage of its stunning setting. Outdoor features truly shine with a durable hog slat dock complete with a lift and two platforms--ideal for boating, fishing, or simply enjoying the water. A saltwater pool, spacious yard with fire pit, large Trex deck, and screened porch create the perfect environment for relaxing or entertaining. Storm shutters and a permitted newer shed add to the home's functionality and peace of mind. Inside, the home offers a generously sized primary suite with beautiful water views. The updated kitchen features solid surface countertops and newer appliances, with an adjacent dining or flex space to suit your needs. Improvements began around 2019 and have continued with thoughtful updates by the current owner. Additional highlights include cement board siding, an encapsulated crawl space (inspected and serviced February 2026, under warranty), and no HOA. Located in Flood Zone X (flood insurance not typically required by lenders) and within the sought-after Croatan School District. Conveniently situated between Cape Carteret and Morehead City, with easy access to local amenities, this well-maintained waterfront home offers a fantastic coastal lifestyle opportunity.
