A First Look

Walk the property. The facade, the deck, the open channel.

This is a Coming Soon listing, so the first look is the exterior: the columned brick front, the water side with its full-width deck, and the dock and boat lift on the Intracoastal. Book a private walk-through to step inside.

Daytime front elevation of 888 Sea Gate Drive, a symmetrical two-story brick home with four white portico columns, an arched fanlight over the front door, and a wide green lawn — The front elevation. Four white columns and an arched fanlight set the manor squarely on its lawn.

Angled front view of 888 Sea Gate Drive showing the curved concrete driveway leading to the covered porch and the attached side garage — The approach. A curved drive sweeps up to the covered porch and the attached garage.

888 Sea Gate Drive photographed at dusk, the brick front and white columns under a soft lavender evening sky with the lawn in the foreground — At dusk. The brick warms under a soft evening sky.

Water side of 888 Sea Gate Drive, a white two-story rear elevation with a full-width upper deck and exterior staircase, the back lawn running down to a rock seawall and wooden dock on the waterway — The water side. A full-width upper deck looks out over the lawn, the seawall, and the dock beyond.

A private boat dock and metal boat lift extending into the Intracoastal Waterway off 888 Sea Gate Drive, with a powerboat raised on a neighboring lift and a tree-lined far shore — The dock and lift. Deep-water access straight off the back lawn.

Wide view from the back lawn of 888 Sea Gate Drive across the green grass to the wooden pier and the broad Intracoastal Waterway, with a forested shoreline on the far side — The long view. Lawn to pier to the open Intracoastal.

Riprap rock seawall lining the water's edge below 888 Sea Gate Drive, with wooden dock decking in the foreground and dock pilings standing in the calm waterway — The seawall. Riprap holds the bank against the tide.

Rear and side of 888 Sea Gate Drive showing brick on the lower level, white siding above, an attached two-car garage, and ground-floor French doors opening toward the water — The garage side. Brick below, white siding above, French doors to the yard.

Architectural detail of 888 Sea Gate Drive, a tall white portico column rising along the corner of the brick wall against a clear blue sky — In detail. A column rises the full height of the brick.

“Built of brick to stand up to the coast, with the Intracoastal Waterway for a backyard.”

The Residence

Built for the water, and the long haul.

This is a two-story waterfront manor on the Intracoastal Waterway, roughly 4,890 square feet, raised behind four white columns and an arched fanlight. It was built in 1991 of concrete block and brick veneer, the kind of construction that earns its keep on a coastline, and it was recently topped with a new 2025 metal roof.

Inside, the plan is generous and flexible: multiple living and dining areas, two kitchens, and large windows that pull the water into the rooms. Three separate heat-pump systems and a central vacuum keep a house this size comfortable and easy to run, with room to spread out for family and guests. A private walk-through is the way to see how it all lives.

The back of the house is the reason to be here. A full-width upper deck looks out over a lawn that runs down to a rock seawall, a private dock, and a boat lift on the open channel. In the Sea Gate community, with its own pool and marina, you are minutes from Beaufort, Morehead City, and Cherry Point.
