A Historic Riverfront Community at Devaun Park

Devaun Park is known for its coastal charm, riverfront setting, and classic neighborhood feel. This home adds another layer of appeal with its location at the back of a private cul-de-sac. That means less through traffic, more separation from neighboring homes, and a sense of calm from the moment you arrive.

The oversized double lot is one of the property’s strongest features. Space matters, especially in a sought-after community where outdoor living is part of the lifestyle. Here, the lot gives the home room to breathe. It also creates flexibility for entertaining, gardening, relaxing by the pool, or simply enjoying a bit more privacy. And this is a RARE find in this community, that you will not want to miss.

Outdoor living that feels like a private retreat

The in-ground saltwater pool is the centerpiece of the backyard. Saltwater systems are popular for their softer feel and lower chlorine odor, making the pool area more comfortable for long afternoons outside. Whether used for a quiet morning swim or a relaxed evening with guests, it adds the kind of everyday luxury that defines this property.

The covered front and back porches extend the living space outdoors. The front porch creates a welcoming arrival, while the rear porch gives the backyard a shaded gathering spot. Covered porches are especially useful in coastal North Carolina, where shade, airflow, and shelter from sudden weather changes make outdoor living more practical.

Did we mention the bocci ball court, a feature that gives the home real personality. It turns the yard into a place for casual competition and relaxed entertaining. It also adds structure to the outdoor space without taking away from the home’s peaceful setting.

Interior spaces designed for comfort and hosting

Inside, this home offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, giving the layout flexibility for full-time living, guests, hobbies, or remote work. The custom-built design shows up in the details, enjoy the trim packaging, stone counters, upgraded lighting fixtures and custom primary suite.

One of the most memorable spaces is the margarita room also known as a butler’s pantry. This feature adds both charm and usefulness. It gives hosts a dedicated area for drink prep, serving, storage, and staging before meals or gatherings. For anyone who enjoys entertaining, it is the kind of detail that makes hosting feel smoother and more enjoyable.

The custom built-in bunk bedroom is another standout. Built-in bunks make a room feel intentional, not improvised. They are efficient, stylish, and perfect for creating extra sleeping space without crowding the room. It is a smart touch for a coastal home where overnight guests are likely to want to stay a little longer.

Together, these spaces make the home feel custom in the best way. They are not just decorative upgrades. They support daily routines and special occasions.

A whole-home generator adds peace of mind

A whole-home Generac generator is a major practical advantage. Coastal living comes with beautiful weather, river breezes, and outdoor recreation, but it can also bring storms and power interruptions. A whole-home generator helps keep essential systems running when the grid goes down.

That kind of feature matters in a luxury property because comfort should not depend on perfect conditions. A generator can support heating and cooling, refrigeration, lighting, and other key systems depending on the setup. Buyers should confirm exact coverage, capacity, and service history during a showing or inspection, but the presence of a whole-home generator is a strong plus.

It is one of those upgrades that may not be flashy at first glance, yet it can become one of the most appreciated features of the home.
