3200 Raymond Ave, Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948

The best of both worlds! Lovingly tended cottage reminiscent of bygone beach days with upgrades reflecting modern amenities. Main living area features original tongue in groove paneling, rustic oak flooring and drop-down wood hurricane shutters. Sunny addition extends living space and features aluminum storm panels, plus delightful screened porch provides another inviting gathering area. Painstakingly maintained with new plumbing, roof and electrical upgrades in the last 10 years as well as convenient second bath off the kitchen. Almost 1600 square feet with smart storage designated throughout, including pantry/laundry area and work shop with floored storage space above. Lounge topside on the state-of-the-art roof level deck designed to be leak proof. Azure ocean views and maritime breezes will invigorate, or seek shade on the covered porch stoop. Gardeners will stake claim to flower beds awaiting showy blooms or aromatic herbs in the grassy landscaped yard. Located just 3 lots from the oceanfront, it is an easy walk along the sidewalk to public beach access with lifeguards during the summer months. The 9,500 sq ft corner lot is zoned commercial, allowing 65% lot coverage if you would like to add pool or additional living space, since the septic is designed for 4 bedrooms. Helga Street traffic light grants easy access to the main highway, leading anywhere on the OBX. This home has been in the family since construction and has NEVER FLOODED! Short pilings elevate the property, and preliminary flood maps indicate this will soon lie in "X" flood plain! This home is truly suitable for year round living or vacation rental.
