At approximately 3,632 square feet, the home features a convenient main-level primary suite, updated main-level flooring, fresh interior paint (2025), and new lighting fixtures (2025) that brighten the open living areas. The eat-in kitchen and adjacent family spaces step out to a large rear deck with wide water views — a natural setting for entertaining, grilling, and watching boats on the creek.
Upstairs provides three additional bedrooms and two adaptable bonus rooms that can serve as extra bedrooms, a home office, a hobby studio, or a playroom. Recent capital improvements include a new roof installed in 2024 and HVAC/furnace replacement within the last ten years, reducing near-term maintenance needs. The property is served by a septic system and has water connected; buyers should verify service details with inspectors and the county.
Outdoor amenities set this property apart: the lot is almost one acre, offering generous privacy and yard space, an attached two-car garage for everyday convenience, and a detached garage/workshop just under 1,000 square feet — ideal for boat storage, projects, or a DIY shop (detached building not included in listed living area).

Tranters Creek is a quiet waterfront enclave outside of downtown Washington, characterized by single-family homes on larger lots and direct access to the Pamlico River watershed. The neighborhood attracts buyers who value boating, fishing and low-density residential living while still wanting reasonable proximity to local services and restaurants in Washington.
Excellent access to boating, fishing, and water-based recreation via Tranters Creek and the Pamlico River system; nearby parks and small trails near downtown Washington add options for land-based outdoor activities.
A factual market snapshot around Raccoon Run.
The Beaufort County housing market remains balanced with pockets of seller strength for specialty product like waterfront homes. Inland median prices for the county are substantially lower than this listing, but waterfront parcels command significant premiums and typically sell more quickly when priced appropriately. Inventory of quality waterfront homes is limited; buyers are often local or second-home purchasers willing to pay for dock access and large lots. Expect the buyer pool to include owner-occupants seeking primary or retirement homes, boat-owning families, and investors targeting long-term rentals. Given recent improvements (new roof, refreshed interiors), this home is move-in ready and competitively positioned. Pricing at $725,000 aligns with AVM indications and local waterfront comparables — contingencies like flood insurance, septic servicing, and dock rights will be key negotiation items.
