Property Description
As you wind beneath a majestic canopy of live oaks, gently drifting with the natural undulations of the dunes, the quintessential charm of Southern Shores embraces you the moment you arrive. Serenity. Tranquility. Warmth. Since 1983, this meticulously maintained, gently used retreat has welcomed generations of family and friends into the quiet solitude of the Outer Banks maritime forest—wrapping around you like a familiar, favorite blanket. Here, local wildlife, soft ocean breezes tinged with salt air, and infinite starry nights offer an unforgettable backdrop for creating lifelong memories. Designed for seamless coastal living, the home opens into a main-level great room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, warm natural light, and an inviting wood-burning fireplace made for cozy autumn nights and crisp spring gatherings. The layout flows perfectly into the dining area and kitchen, fully equipped and sold completely furnished so you can begin enjoying paradise on day one (see Bill of Sale for details). Expansive wraparound decking creates outdoor living spaces in every direction—perfect for catching morning light to the east or gathering to watch the sunset. Downstairs, a welcoming foyer sits alongside a dedicated laundry room and direct access to the spacious, covered carport. The main floor features a peaceful primary ensuite, thoughtfully sized to accommodate a king bed, along with two additional bedrooms that share a beautifully updated guest bath featuring modern LVP flooring and a cultured marble vanity. Ground-level, the home caters to easy beach days and relaxed outdoor entertaining, complete with a private outdoor shower, a generous storage room for beach gear, and a shady covered patio perfect for picnic setups and refreshing beverages. Party lights, anyone? Set on an expansive 0.48-acre lot, the property offers rare potential, with ample space to add a private swimming pool, expand outdoor entertainment areas, or create additional living space. Life is defined by its ages and stages; don’t miss the opportunity to make this timeless Outer Banks haven your own.
