About the property
Charming 1948 Coastal Cottage — Steps from Boat Ramp and Downtown
One block from the Morehead City Visitor Center and the public boat ramp, this 1948 coastal cottage delivers an unbeatable combination of location, vintage character, and recent updates. From the moment you arrive the freshly paved driveway and generous carport make coming and going easy, while the detached garage—outfitted with an excellent workshop—and an additional storage shed answer every practical need for tools and toys.
Inside, the main level showcases original hardwood floors, wide-plank trim and crown molding that speak to the home's thoughtfully preserved character. The kitchen has been modernized for everyday living and entertaining: stainless steel appliances, a center cooking station and practical work surfaces keep meal prep efficient without sacrificing charm. Upstairs, a roomy primary ensuite provides private sleeping quarters and flexible use as a guest or home-office suite.
Recent systems work gives the house contemporary reliability—a new HVAC with freshly installed ductwork serves the downstairs living areas—and a newly added screened porch expands your living space outdoors, perfect for taking in the coastal breezes while staying protected from insects. The fully fenced backyard creates a safe play area for pets or a garden, and much of the current furniture is available for purchase for a true turnkey transition (some exclusions apply).
Situated in a quiet, established Morehead City neighborhood, this cottage is minutes from beaches, local restaurants, and shops on the Crystal Coast. Parents will appreciate proximity to Carteret County schools and quick access to Carteret Health Care approximately half a mile away. Whether you're drawn to weekend boating off the sound, routine errands on foot, or the easy social life of a coastal town, 115 Noyes Ave marries old-world detail with pragmatic, updated amenities for modern coastal living.

Editorial market perspective
This listing is priced at $394,900 — essentially at the midpoint of the valuation range ($379,104–$410,696) provided for comparable homes. For buyers seeking a move-in ready coastal cottage on the Crystal Coast, the current environment favors those who move decisively: demand for single-family homes with turnkey updates remains steady, particularly for properties within walking distance of water access and downtown amenities. Inventory in Morehead City often tightens during the spring and summer months when second-home and rental interest rises; sellers benefit from that seasonal demand. Single-family residences that combine historic character with mechanical upgrades (like new HVAC) tend to outperform entry-level listings in both price retention and speed of sale. For a buyer, this is an opportunity to secure a well-located cottage with immediate usability and upside in short-term rental or long-term appreciation tied to coastal desirability. For sellers, comparable price positioning near the listed midpoint typically generates competitive interest when marketed to both local buyers and out-of-town purchasers seeking Crystal Coast access.
