309 Island View Dr, Newport, NC, 28570

Perched sound-side with wide Intracoastal Waterway panoramas, 309 Island View Drive is a thoughtfully built coastal home where structural integrity meets elevated livability. Constructed with 2x6 framing and closed-cell spray foam insulation, the residence has been updated for durable, low-maintenance coastal living: a metal roof installed in 2021, a Kohler whole-house natural gas generator (2022), a Rinnai tankless water heater (2022), and an HVAC replacement in 2019. An inspected elevator (2/6/2026) makes every floor immediately accessible.

The main living areas are tailored for both quiet evenings and entertaining. A sunroom anchored by cherry engineered hardwood flooring and a 2022 natural gas fireplace provides an intimate spot to enjoy water views; plantation shutters and a travertine entry add a curated coastal finish. The kitchen was recently refreshed—professionally refinished cabinetry in 2025, a 2025 LG refrigerator, GE electric cooktop (2025), GE wall oven and microwave (2022), warming drawer, wine chiller, and filtered drinking water at the sink—so everyday meals and weekend gatherings feel special without a major project.

The primary suite is a private wing with a custom closet and a remodeled bath completed in 2017 that includes radiant heated floors for added comfort. Two additional bedrooms and well-appointed living spaces fill out nearly 3,070 square feet of interior living. Practical conveniences include central vacuum, an attached three-car garage plus a separate garage/workshop outfitted with a 2018 mini-split and utility sink—ideal for boats, tools, or hobbies.

Outdoors, the generously sized deck (2020), irrigation well, and outdoor shower are tailored to the coastal lifestyle. The neighborhood’s private boat ramp and community pier provide direct ICW access—perfect for fishing, boating, or watching sunsets across the sound. With extensive system upgrades and quality finishes throughout, this home balances turnkey readiness with longevity for owners seeking a sound-side residence that performs as well as it delights.

This quiet sound-side neighborhood in Newport caters to owners who prioritize water access and a relaxed coastal pace. A private boat ramp and community pier make boating, fishing, and evening sunsets effortless; nearby residential streets are mostly low-traffic and well-maintained. While Newport offers the small-town coastal lifestyle, essential services and larger regional centers are accessible by car. The community appeals to boaters, anglers, and anyone seeking a low-maintenance seaside home with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway.
