Nestled in a peaceful, private setting surrounded by mature trees and lush coastal vegetation, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage in Buxton offers a blend of classic Outer Banks charm and modern comfort. Designed to resemble the historic lifesaving stations, this well-maintained home is filled with character and craftsmanship, featuring wood floors, custom trim, and shiplap details throughout. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, second home, or a proven vacation rental, this property delivers on all fronts.
Step onto the covered front porch and into the inviting great room, where the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area creates a welcoming space to gather. The well-appointed kitchen offers plenty of counter space and easy access to the laundry area and a second entrance leading to the parking area. Also on this level is a king bedroom and a full bathroom, offering convenience and flexibility. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms—one with a king bed and the other with two twin beds—that share a full hall bath.
Outside, the private backyard is an oasis for relaxation, featuring a fire pit area perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. The home’s prime location places you within walking distance to Pop’s Raw Bar & Grill, a local favorite, and just minutes from the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse beach access and Frisco Beach. Families will love the convenience of being near Cape Hatteras Secondary School, while investors will appreciate the successful history as an Airbnb/VRBO rental, with owners who also enjoy spending time here themselves.
Whether you're dreaming of a peaceful coastal escape, a full-time residence, or a fantastic investment opportunity, this Buxton retreat is a rare find. Schedule your showing today!
