3609 Watercraft Ferry Ave

3609 Watercraft Ferry Avenue is perhaps the finest townhome in the highly desirable waterfront community of Riverlights Marina Village. It's one of the few townhomes with a water view of the Cape Fear River and an adjacent lawn. This semi-customized home, built by award-winning PBC Design and Build, is a coveted end-unit that includes a floor plan that was lengthened by 2 feet on each level, enlarging each of the riverside living areas and primary bedroom. Also unique are the 2 covered decks that were extended to span the entire width of the home (20 feet), providing ample space to enjoy the river view and spectacular sunset vistas from the top 2 levels. Luxury features abound in this fine home and include hardwood floors throughout the living areas and bedrooms, abundant moldings, 10 ft and 9 ft ceilings, 8ft doors, an elevator accessible to all levels with a luxurious cherry wood interior and high-end custom blinds on the windows and doors (some remote controlled). The light-filled main living level on the second floor features an open floor plan that includes a chef's kitchen with a stunning Carrara marble kitchen island and breakfast bar, upscale appliances (including a Miele 36'' range/oven and range hood), a farmhouse sink, mirrored backsplash, beautiful cabinetry and a pantry room with a barn-door entrance. The home is great for entertaining with an open dining area that has a beautiful chandelier and windows offering park-like views to the river. The open living room epitomizes elegance with beautiful built-in bookcases and a cabinet that flank the gas-log fireplace. It also features a triple set of 8 ft doors that offer beautiful views and access to the expansive covered deck which is ideal for lounging and dining 'al fresco' while enjoying the water and sunset views. Completing the main level are 2 additional pantries and a powder room. On the top level is the extra-large riverside primary bedroom suite
that boasts a walk-in closet and a luxurious master bathroom with customized expanded vanities, including a make-up vanity, linen closet and a fully tiled shower with a frameless door.
