This 2024 Channel Marker-built home in Escoba Bay delivers a rare package: modern construction, generous living area, and direct water access. At roughly 3,266 square feet, the residence balances entertaining and everyday life with a main-floor primary suite, an open great room that frames the water, and a chef-ready kitchen anchored by quartz counters, a gas range with double oven, and a spacious butler’s pantry. Upstairs are three guest bedrooms and a full bath designed for family privacy; lower-level living includes an additional bedroom and a dedicated media room — perfect for movie nights or multiuse recreation.
Outdoor amenities are the headline: a private dock with a lift gives you immediate access to boating and fishing; evenings around the waterfront fire pit make summer nights memorable. The property includes a dedicated pad for boat or RV storage and insulated garage space that has been used as a gym in marketing photos — demonstrating flexible, value-enhancing utility. Practical upgrades like a tankless hot water heater and spray-foam insulated garages raise energy performance and year-round comfort.
Escoba Bay’s amenities extend the living area beyond the lot: community clubhouse and pool, playground, boat and RV storage, and even stabling. The community’s combination of recreational features and protective channel-front positioning provides quieter water access than exposed oceanfront while still being minutes from Topsail Island beaches and convenient to Jacksonville/Camp Lejeune commuting corridors.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking a primary coastal residence or a high-quality second home with immediate boating capability. With high-end finishes, turnkey systems, and a thoughtful floorplan, 1027 Meridian Drive is ready for occupancy and seasonal entertaining — bring your water toys and plans for coastal living.
