Description

Nestled among the rolling high dunes of Southern Shores, this beautifully maintained home offers the rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and outstanding access to everything that makes the Outer Banks so special. Surrounded by mature landscaping and perched high on a hill, the property backs up to more than an acre and a half of common land, creating a peaceful setting that feels worlds away from the crowds. From your backyard, you can easily access the canal through the adjoining common area, spend sunny afternoons by the private pool, or enjoy a short walk to the beach. It truly offers the best of all worlds. Lovingly updated over the years, this home has been thoughtfully designed to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for family and guests alike. The light-filled great room features beautiful wood ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and an open-concept layout that flows seamlessly into the dining area and updated kitchen. Just beyond the living space, the expansive screened-in porch overlooks the canal and surrounding natural landscape, providing the perfect place to relax, dine outdoors, or enjoy the coastal breeze year-round. The top level offers four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, creating plenty of room for family and visitors. Downstairs, the spacious game room provides an ideal gathering space for entertaining, movie nights, or rainy-day fun. There is also a generous bonus ensuite currently being used as a fifth bedroom, though it could easily serve as a private guest retreat, home office, fitness room, or flex space to suit your needs. Life in Southern Shores is all about embracing the natural beauty and relaxed coastal lifestyle that have made this community one of the most beloved on the Outer Banks. Residents enjoy miles of walking and biking paths winding through the maritime forest, uncrowded private beach accesses, a beautiful soundside park, tennis and pickleball courts, and a marina complete with a boat ramp and docking slips. Whether you are searching for a full-time residence, second home, or investment property, this exceptional home captures the very essence of Outer Banks living.
