Classic OBX Beach Cottage with Big-Ticket Updates! This charming, modest beach house is situated on a large lot in Northern Kill Devil Hills, offering the perfect blend of privacy and beach vibe, ideally located next to a non-buildable lot. The property exudes a sense of seclusion while being close to all the OBX attractions.
The home features a brand new, spacious covered deck and sun deck—ideal for soaking in the salt air and sunshine. Step inside to be greeted by an inviting den with tasteful, new furnishings and luxury vinyl tile throughout. The functional kitchen boasts a tiled backsplash, newer appliances, and some updated cabinets, with a cozy dining area and bar offering ample space for family and guests to enjoy meals together.
The home has three comfortable bedrooms, with the primary suite offering a convenient ensuite half bath. A full bath serves the rest of the home. Downstairs, you'll find a large storage room, perfect for storing beach and water toys, as well as a refreshing outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach. The main level includes a laundry room with a separate entrance off the side deck for added convenience.
The location is unbeatable! A short drive across the street takes you to the nearest beach access, or take a walk or bike ride along the picturesque multi-use bay drive path. Continue to the nearby sound access to enjoy calm, shallow waters perfect for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and more.
