What sets this Fairfield Harbour townhome apart is the uninterrupted water view — visible from the living and dining areas, the kitchen, the primary suite and the screened porch — a rare, live-edge perspective on a calm lakefront setting. Inside, vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors create an open, warm atmosphere centered on a raised-hearth gas-log fireplace that anchors the main living space. The layout takes advantage of sightlines to water while offering comfortable separation between public and private rooms.

The kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry, granite counters, tile backsplash, ceramic tile flooring and stainless-steel appliances — practical finishes that read modern but maintain coastal sensibility. A multifunctional loft overlooks the living area and offers a wall of closets that turns seasonal storage into everyday organization. The primary bedroom includes direct access to the screened porch so evenings can be spent listening to the water and watching boats glide by.

Upgrades continue in the baths: the primary bath features a double-bowl vanity, ceramic tile floors and a walk-in tile shower. The home’s lower-level patio and the grilling deck (complete with stairs and an installed chair lift) extend outdoor living options and take full advantage of the lakefront lot. Systems include central AC, heat pump heating and a one-car attached garage, all on a level lot within a gated, amenity-rich community.

Fairfield Harbour delivers more than scenery — residents have nearby access to Northwest Creek Marina (0.3 mi), an 18-hole golf course (0.5 mi), and the community recreation center (0.2 mi) with tennis, pickleball and walking/biking trails. Whether you’re seeking a primary residence that reads like a vacation or an investment with rental demand, this move-in ready townhome combines thoughtful updates with lifestyle advantages unique to this part of New Bern. Buyers should confirm HOA terms and flood insurance requirements during due diligence.

Fairfield Harbour is a purpose-built waterfront community that blends active recreational life with quiet residential streets. Residents enjoy an on-site marina, 18-hole golf course, recreation center with courts and fitness spaces, and miles of trails for walking or biking. The gated layout creates a comfortable, secure feel while community events and volunteer groups foster neighborly connections. Historic downtown New Bern—offering dining, galleries and riverfront parks—is a short drive away, giving homeowners easy access to both resort-style amenities and small-city cultural offerings.
