About this home
AN UNCOMMON EXPRESSION OF WATERFRONT LIVING WITHOUT COMPROMISE. Set within the private, Southern Living- and Coastal Living-inspired community of River Dunes, 76 Soundside Drive occupies a remarkable position on the protected waters of Grace Harbor along North Carolina's Inner Banks. From here, the Intracoastal Waterway, Neuse River, and Pamlico Sound are immediately accessible, creating an exceptional home base for cruising, sailing, fishing, and exploring the Carolina coast.
Grace Harbor Marina is one of the region's premier inland-basin marinas--a true ''hurricane hole'' offering protection from wake, current, and open-water exposure without sacrificing access. Sometimes described by residents as ''the Nantucket of the South,'' River Dunes is a private, master-planned waterfront community centered on boating, natural beauty, and an unhurried coastal lifestyle. Walkable Harbor Village brings together the Harbor Club private yacht club, dining, fitness and wellness amenities, tennis, gathering spaces, and marina services. Quiet streets, preserved open spaces, and thoughtfully designed homes create the atmosphere of a refined coastal retreat. Nearby Oriental, known as North Carolina's sailing capital, adds authentic maritime culture, waterfront dining, local shops, galleries, and the character of a historic coastal village.
Within this setting, few properties combine the waterfront presence, construction quality, privacy, luxury, and long-term livability found at 76 Soundside Drive. Positioned on nearly two private waterfront acres with approximately 100 feet of frontage and completed in 2023, this architecturally distinctive residence was created for buyers seeking not simply a waterfront home, but a more complete waterfront experience. Expansive views stretch across the Pamlico Sound and Intracoastal Waterway, while the home's orientation allows water, sky, and changing light to become part of everyday living.
Built for long-term performance, the residence features Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction with reinforced concrete walls, a slab foundation, commercial-grade stone seawall protection, a low-profile metal hip roof, and extensive use of low-maintenance exterior materials. A whole-house generator, fiber-optic internet, and Starlink connectivity provide uncommon layers of reliability and resilience.
That same intention continues inside, where generous proportions, refined materials, expansive glass, and considered architectural details create an atmosphere of coastal luxury. Exceptional scale and visual harmony balance elegance with comfort, while allowing the water and landscape to remain the defining presence.
Designed for the ease of single-level living, the floor plan includes dual primary suites and a directly connected flex room that expands the home's versatility. Nearly 6,500 square feet under roof encompasses more than 4,900 square feet of heated space and an oversized, heated three-car garage connected directly to the residence.
Along the waterfront, a remarkable 1,400-square-foot covered and screened veranda serves as a true extension of the home. With a double-sided fireplace, grilling ventilation, and panoramic views, outdoor living becomes as comfortable and functional as the interior. Water views are present from virtually every room, including the primary suites, where French doors open toward the blue horizon.
Ultimately, 76 Soundside Drive is a rare convergence of exceptional boating access, expansive waterfront presence, enduring construction, and thoughtful design. Its luxury is expressed not only through scale and architectural distinction, but through the comfort, privacy, resilience, and ease incorporated into every aspect of the home. Designed around its owners' lives and an ever-present connection to the water, this is waterfront living without compromise along the North Carolina coast. From the owner:
"Life here is defined by the water and sky. On any given day, you'll see ospreys, eagles, herons, and countless waterfowl, along with dolphins moving just offshore. Sailboats and passing vessels glide quietly in the distance along the Intracoastal Waterway.
Sunrises and moonrises unfold over the Sound, while sunsets reflect across the creeks behind the home. After an afternoon rain, rainbows are common, and on clear evenings the night sky opens fully--constellations, planets, and even the Milky Way visible overhead.
It's a setting that changes constantly, yet always feels calm, open, and connected to the water."...
