Imagine waking up on a quiet Saturday morning, stepping outside with a cup of coffee, and watching yachts make their way along the Intracoastal Waterway. At **1737 Snake Island Road**, that isn't a vacation--it's simply life on the Pungo River. This charming **3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront cottage** offers a rare opportunity to own your own little piece of Eastern North Carolina paradise. With an impressive amount of waterfront, a bulkhead, and a spacious partially covered deck overlooking the river, the views take center stage. From here, you can spend hours watching boats travel the ICW, enjoying the breeze off the water, or settling in at the end of the day for one of those unforgettable Carolina sunsets. And this property is about much more than the view. An **additional parcel behind the home is included**, offering a boat lift tucked into calmer, protected water with easy access out to the Pungo River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Keep your boat ready for an afternoon of fishing, cruising, or exploring the surrounding waterways. The boat currently on the lift may also be purchased separately. The cottage comes **furnished and ready to enjoy**, making it the perfect weekend getaway, family retreat, or waterfront escape. An exterior elevator makes getting to and from the main living level easy and convenient for family and guests of all ages. Days here are meant to be spent on the water--heading out in the boat, casting a fishing line, setting crab pots and bringing home fresh seafood for dinner. Then, as the day winds down, head back to the deck, put your feet up, and watch the sky change colors over the river. Ideally located **between historic Bath and Belhaven**, 1737 Snake Island Road puts you in the heart of one of Eastern North Carolina's most beautiful waterfront areas, with access to the Pungo River, Pamlico River and the ICW. This isn't just a house on the water. **It's the kind of place where weekends become traditions, summer days seem a little longer, and memories are made one sunset at a time.**

From the moment you get the keys, all that's left to do is unpack your beach bag, stock the cooler, and start enjoying island life.
