Snuggled along Bath Creek is a Patrick Tetterton-designed Dell Tech home. The round octagon-style house is full of character and charm. “It certainly isn’t your typical river house,” said listing agent Clay Cartwright with United Real Estate/East Carolina. “It has the look and feel of someone’s retirement home. Their forever home where they can just kick back and enjoy life along the river.”

The 2,600 sq. ft. three bedroom 2.5 bath home sits on a 1.05-acre lot and boasts a very open concept. The open kitchen and dining space offer breathtaking views of Bath Creek. The kitchen features beautiful maple custom cabinetry along with a breakfast bar. The oversized sunroom could be used as a dining space as well as a lounging area with a gas log fireplace. The sunroom leads onto a deck that is ideal for rocking chairs and the opportunity to rock your cares away while looking out at the creek. The first floor also has a powder room, one bedroom with a private full bath, and a laundry room with a large sink area.  The primary bedroom is located on the second floor and offers a bird’s eye view of Bath Creek. It has a walk-in closet along with a bathroom with a separate shower, jacuzzi tub, and double vanities. There is also a third bedroom along with a spacious area that can be used as either a den or an office. The extras include a central vacuum system, a two-car garage, a pier, and boat and jet ski lifts. There is also a 20 X 14 storage building behind the home. “Maintenance has been a primary focus of the current owners,” said Cartwright. “The grounds are beautifully done with flowering plants and mature shade trees. There are bigger homes on either side, but because of the nature of the mature landscaping, it feels as if it is tucked away all on its own and is quite private. The lot is also elevated so no flood insurance is required.”

As Cartwright pointed out, this home is certainly one of those that gives Bath its unique charm and character. “There are many homes in Bath that are different in style and their nature,” said Cartwright. “There are the traditional historic homes that line the waterfront, to a replica of an emergency station you would find at the beach and a little of everything else sprinkled in between. This octagon-style Patrick Tetterton home has a character all of its own.”
