1 Beds 1 Baths 100590190 MLS Bask II Condos BLDG.
New to Market! This one bedroom, one bath condo sits inside a 1935 building that underwent a full interior renovation completed in 2025, pairing historic bones with an interior that feels brand new throughout. At 460 heated square feet, the layout is truly open concept, no bedroom door, no walled-off sections, just a smart flow from the sleeping area to the living space to the kitchen that makes the square footage live larger than the number suggests. LVP flooring runs throughout in a warm, driftwood tone. The kitchen has white quartz-look countertops, a full subway tile backsplash, white shaker cabinetry, and a stainless appliance package that includes a french door refrigerator, built-in microwave, and electric cooktop. The bathroom has a tiled shower to match. The unit comes tastefully furnished, from a coastal-toned watercolor art collection to soft neutral upholstery and wicker accents, and it's ready to move into or start renting from day one. Unit 226 sits on the second floor of the building's wing side, which means fewer stairs and a shorter walk down than a top-floor unit, something guests notice on arrival day loaded down with bags and beach gear. Step outside to your own covered balcony overlooking the downtown streetscape, the kind of spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down. The location itself is where this condo really sets itself apart. This building sits directly at Big Rock Landing on the Morehead City waterfront, close to the town-owned public docks that offer nightly slip rentals, and walking distance to the restaurants, boutique shops, and downtown energy that make this stretch of Shepard Street one of the most walkable in Carteret County. And for dinner, you don't even need to go outside. Walk down the carpeted hallway and you're at MAR, the newest restaurant to open in downtown Morehead City, an upscale fine dining spot known for its elegant, cozy interior alongside a menu built around steaks, fresh seafood, and a handcrafted cocktail program. Having that on the other end of a hallway, rather than a drive or even a walk outside, is the kind of convenience most condos in this price range simply can't offer. This wing of condos connects to Bask Hotel but operates independently and isn't part of the hotel's rental management program. Owners choose their own path, a private management company, VRBO, Airbnb, or no rental at all, giving a buyer real flexibility to structure ownership the way that fits them best. HOA dues run $389.77 a month, plus approximately $75 a month for electricity, which brings total condo fees to roughly $5,580 a year. That covers water, sewer, cable, internet, pest control, trash service, one assigned parking space, and both building exterior and common area maintenance, so a lot of the ongoing cost of ownership is already accounted for. Annual insurance assessment $1685.97 May 26-May 27. Downtown Morehead City stays busy well beyond summer. You've got the Alive at 5 concert series at Jaycee Park, the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament that brings the whole waterfront to life every June, and the North Carolina Seafood Festival each October, one of the largest festivals in the state. Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance second home or a well-positioned rental, this unit puts you in walking distance of it all.
