Welcome to The Cottages at Spruce Creek, an intimate waterfront community offering over 1,000 feet of shared frontage along the picturesque shoreline of Spruce Creek. A new community dock is scheduled for completion in late fall 2026 -- ideal for launching kayaks and canoes or simply relaxing while enjoying the peaceful sights and sounds of the creek. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, this nearly new home offers a seamless blend of comfort, style, and easy living. The open-concept floor plan is both functional and inviting, centered around a spacious chef's kitchen with an oversized island, abundant cabinetry, and effortless flow into the formal dining and living areas. The living room is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, while the dining area enjoys seasonal water views. A first-floor bedroom and adjacent full bath provide flexibility for one-level living or comfortable guest accommodations. Outdoor living spaces are equally impressive, with two private covered front porches showcasing vibrant sunsets and tranquil water views, while the rear deck offers a more secluded retreat. The second level features two additional guest bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, and an expansive primary suite complete with a walk-in closet, private balcony, and a luxurious bath featuring dual vanities, soaking tub, and oversized shower. Additional highlights include gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, abundant natural light, custom finishes, central air conditioning, generator hook-up, a two-car garage, and extensive lower-level storage. Ideally located near shopping, area beaches, major highways, and airports, and just minutes from downtown Portsmouth, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of coastal living, convenience, and outdoor recreation.
