Welcome to 852 Lighthouse, a beautifully maintained semi-oceanfront retreat in Corolla’s coveted Whalehead community — a neighborhood renowned for its expansive lots, generous spacing between homes, and the rare opportunity to enjoy larger residences with exceptional privacy. Perfectly positioned just steps from the beach access, this spacious 8-bedroom, 6.5-bath home offers an effortless blend of comfort, functionality, and relaxed coastal elegance. The top level unfolds into a bright, open-concept living space where the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly together, filled with natural light and framed by ocean views. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for both style and efficiency, featuring a countertop cooktop, stacked ovens, dual dishwashers, and abundant prep space — ideal for hosting gatherings with ease. The adjoining dining area fosters a warm, welcoming atmosphere for memorable meals and conversations. Also on this level, the primary suite provides a serene escape with a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, a spacious walk-in closet, and tranquil ocean views. Two generous decks — one facing east for sunrise, the other west for sunset — expand the living space outdoors, with exterior stairs offering direct access to the pool area and an additional half bath for added convenience. The second level hosts four well-appointed bedrooms, including one en suite with a private bath, and two additional full baths. A secondary living area creates a cozy setting for movie nights or quiet relaxation, while an additional deck invites you to unwind and enjoy soft coastal breezes. A charming half-level sitting nook adds versatility — a perfect reading spot, meditation space, or quiet retreat. On the ground floor, a spacious game room with ample seating and a convenient kitchenette anchors the level, accompanied by three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a laundry room with storage. This floor is ideally suited for extended families, guest groups, or multigenerational stays. Thoughtful storage is integrated throughout the home, ensuring there is ample space for storing items when coming and going. Outdoors, the property truly shines.
