Property Description
Welcome to this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath home tucked into a quiet, highly sought-after Southern Shores neighborhood. Set on a beautifully landscaped and wooded 22,000 sq. ft. lot, the property offers wonderful privacy along with a 3 car garage. Step inside to an inviting main level featuring beautiful hardwood floors and a large kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, garbage disposal, under-counter lighting, and counter seating for three. The kitchen flows into the dining area with a warm gas fireplace, and a spacious great room with access to both the three-season room and the screened-in porch. Three comfortable bedrooms are conveniently located on this level, along with easy hallway access to the large attic with floored storage and a pull-down ladder for access. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms that share a full bath—providing plenty of space for family or guests. The home also features a full-house generator and hurricane shutters for added peace of mind. Multiple indoor and outdoor living areas offer plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing year-round. Located in the desirable Southern Shores community near Duck and Kitty Hawk, you’ll enjoy miles of walking, biking, and running trails. The optional Southern Shores Civic Association offers access to a community marina with boat launch, soundfront park and playground, tennis and pickleball courts, a picnic pavilion, and 33 private beach accesses, some offering parking. Close to local coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and for golf enthusiasts the Duck Woods Country Club, this home offers the perfect slice of the OBX lifestyle. A dedicated well pump located in the garage provides a convenient way to manually water the landscaping, and the home is plumbed for a Le Bleu water system, though it is not currently installed.
