Semi-Soundfront w/ Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room, Windsports Access, Cmty Boat Ramp
SEMI-SOUNDFRONT Salvo — Wind Over Waves — With the grace of a mermaid and the heart of a lion, MERLION HAVEN pulls off the perfect balance as a sanctuary of calm and a base for energetic pursuits. Located in an upscale community of elegant homes that share a 100’ pier and boat ramp on Pamlico Sound, this six-bedroom/seven-full and one-half bath home is walkable to the ocean beach. The sound and its draw for kiteboarders and windsurfers is effortlessly within reach, too. This is a place where minds soar and life flourishes.
Choosing which body of water to spend your days must include the private pool, surrounded by a picnic table and plenty of new chaise lounges. Work up a sweat shooting hoops at the basketball goal then cool off in the outdoor shower before ratcheting up the competition in the ground level game room. Shoot pool for a while, then wind down with a snack and drink you’ve fixed in the wet bar before watching the Smart TV in the den area. There’s also a full bath and laundry facilities on this level.
Five of the home’s bedrooms occupy the first level. Three of the bedrooms are ensuite queens, two of which have access to the deck. There’s also an ensuite king, along with a bunk room with access to the deck and a full bathroom in the hallway. The final bedroom, an ensuite king, is located on the second level and has direct access to a 4-person hot tub and upper deck. All of the bedrooms feature Smart TVs and new décor.
Entertain your grand plans for making family memories — or entertaining visiting friends — in the very spacious great room, located on the top level. There’s a well-equipped kitchen that can easily accommodate more than one cook at mealtime. Gather around the eat-at kitchen counter that seats four, outside at the picnic table, or the 10-seat dining table that brings everyone together for leisurely meals and laughter. As the evening winds down, retire to the comfortable sectional to catch up on your favorite shows on the large flat-screen Smart TV or onto the deck for views of the sound that never fail to make a memorable impression. You can impress, too, by booking MERLION HAVEN for a vacation your family will always remember.
New for 2024: Two queen bedrooms upgraded to kings. New 10-seat dining room table. New sectional couch in the great room. New pool area furniture. Newly re-plastered pool. Refreshed décor throughout including lamps, quilts, and art throughout.

The house was great, the newly refreshed pool was great. The location exactly what we wanted. It was a comfortable property and beds were great! We were 9 adults age 60-72. The only reason I can’t give it a 5 star is that a bit of better cleaning could have been done. Look high and look low, invest in a swifter and the dust bunnies high and low will not be there. Also may I suggest a few more knives and wine glasses would be a terrific add.
