Private Deep-Water Home on Adams Creek with 190' Dock
This Fulshire Plantation residence pairs substantial indoor living with a rare, ready-to-use waterfront setup. Sitting on 1.14 acres of Adams Creek frontage, the home (3,224 sf) was designed to celebrate the water: the kitchen, breakfast area and great room align across the rear to deliver sweeping creek views, while the primary suite has private access to a large concrete screened porch overlooking the creek. Practical luxury shows in the details — built-in maple cabinetry in the office, crown molding throughout main living areas, granite counters, stainless appliances, a gas cooktop and built-in double ovens — all arranged to support both daily life and coastal entertaining.
The waterfront improvements are the defining feature: a reinforced bulkhead shores the property, and an approximately 190-foot private dock reaches into the widest part of Adams Creek and the ICW, terminating in a charming gazebo. The dock is equipped with two boat lifts (one rated at 10,000 lbs, one at 5,000 lbs), making this property immediately usable for large boats and multiple-vessel owners. The living room includes a striking fireplace faced in black cultured marble with flanking built-ins — a warm focal point after a day on the water.
Upstairs, a carpeted bonus room creates flexible space for media, a game room, or guests. The main level also features two additional bedrooms (one with water views), and the primary en-suite includes double sinks, a walk-in shower, private water closet and dual walk-in closets. Outside, the generous yard and dock/Gazebo compound deliver private coastal recreation — shrimping, fishing, dolphin watching and stress-free boating access to the ICW.
This listing is well-suited for buyers who want a turnkey waterfront lifestyle: boaters, military families stationed at nearby MCAS Cherry Point, or buyers relocating from larger NC metros for a coastal base. Confirmations during due diligence should include dock/bulkhead permits, lift service history, and flood insurance requirements. The property is offered at $1,200,000 and presents a rare combination of elevated waterfront improvements and inland comfort.

The community mixes full-time residents and military families connected to MCAS Cherry Point; streets are residential and low-traffic, with a coastal, relaxed character and sizable lots compared with denser inland subdivisions.
Excellent boating and fishing access with a private deep-water dock and gazebo; immediate access to Adams Creek and Intracoastal Waterway for year-round recreation.
A factual market snapshot around 135 Waterway Dr.
Havelock’s waterfront segment is a distinct micro-market within the New Bern MSA. Inventory of well-equipped, private-dock properties is limited, which supports a pricing premium for turnkey boating infrastructure. Buyer demand is steady and driven by military personnel at Cherry Point, local professionals and second-home purchasers seeking immediate water access. Median local home prices are lower than this listing’s price, but waterfront comparables trend higher — expect longer marketing windows versus entry-level housing, but also a tighter competitive set. In the current environment (moderate appreciation and modest inventory), a properly marketed waterfront home with heavy-lift dock equipment will attract motivated, qualified buyers and can command offers near list when condition and permits are documented.
