About this home
Welcome to The Coves of Newport! This three-bedroom, two-bath end-unit home is situated on a desirable corner lot within a gated community, directly across the street from the community clubhouse and swimming pool. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features an open living and dining area, with the primary bedroom privately situated at one end of the home and two additional bedrooms and a shared full bathroom at the opposite end. An added bonus is the HVAC system, installed approximately one year ago.

With some cosmetic improvements and updating, this property has great potential as a primary residence, second home, or continued investment property. Centrally located in Newport, the community offers convenient access to area schools, parks, the library, shopping, and dining. Cherry Point Air Base and the beautiful Crystal Coast beaches are just a short drive away. Enjoy the potential of low-maintenance living, gated community amenities, and a convenient location in this Newport home!
