216 Sea Oats Trl, Southern Shores, NC 27949

In addition to the great price and wonderful location, here you have a true Ranch Style home. Built by the current owners as their family residence in 1978, it has remained a private residence to this day. On one of the largest lots in Southern Shores, 3 blocks from private ocean access and a bike ride from the Sound, those seeking homes without pilings will be pleased with this location and layout. The only stairs are a few from the back yard garden to the back deck and one step up to the front door. Although you won t find an updated kitchen, you will notice newer appliances in a kitchen that has been kept in mint condition over the years. The handy breakfast bar seats 3. From the kitchen you can step into a charming breakfast/sun room that opens onto the back deck giving you a choice of where to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the birds in the abundant greenery around you. The convenient laundry/utility room is next to the kitchen, opposite the dry entry door to the attached garage. Continuing past the laundry, you enter a roomy, bright library/den facing west for the afternoon light. You can also enter this room from the front foyer creating exceptional traffic flow for easy living! The living/family room opens onto the large, L shaped decking that is nestled in the trees. The north side of the room is a defined area for dining that accommodates a full sized dining table and chairs. All the bedrooms are down the hall to your right as you enter the house. The twin and queen bedrooms are in the front of the house while the master suite is located in the rear for more privacy. This master bedroom has been enlarged to include an inviting sitting room. The master bath was also enlarged to put the shower and commode in a separate room away from the vanity. Currently, the Juniper lining the driveway is being cut back to reveal a much larger parking area! You may notice it appears bare where the bushes have been trimmed. It will be green again soon. The front yard has been left in its natural state, simply mowed regularly, so there will be no need for expensive clearing if one wished to landscape instead. There are Russian Olives planted in front and a lovely Dogwood tree near the rear deck. The owner used to plant a vegetable garden each season, but had to give that up as she aged, leaving a very large back yard with lots of possibilities.
