COASTAL LIVING JUST STEPS FROM THE ALBEMARLE SOUND! Tucked away near the end of a quiet street in an established neighborhood of primarily year-round residents, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a peaceful setting while keeping you close to everything that makes the Outer Banks lifestyle so special. Located just a few lots from the sound, you can easily enjoy sunset strolls along Bay Drive, bike rides on the scenic walking and biking path, or time by the water at nearby Hayman Park, with sound access, a pier, and a gazebo. From the moment you arrive, the generous 7, 500-square-foot lot two large carports with separate driveway areas, and spacious covered porch set the tone for easy coastal living. Grab your morning coffee and settle into the built-in porch seating, take an evening bike ride along the sound, or head to the nearby public boat ramp for a day on the water. Inside, the home feels light, bright, and wonderfully open. An abundance of windows fills the great room with natural light, while the cathedral ceiling and open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas create an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. A sliding glass door off the kitchen leads to a large sun deck with built-in seating—perfect for outdoor dining, grilling, or relaxing at the end of the day. Stairs provide convenient access from the rear deck to the yard. The flexible floor plan includes two primary bedrooms on separate levels. The mid-level primary suite offers private access to the deck, creating a peaceful retreat with the outdoors steps away. Upstairs, the second primary suite features a massive walk-in closet/storage area along with an impressively large loft. Currently offering additional sleeping space with a sleeper futon, the loft has tremendous potential as a media room, home office, fitness area, craft room, bunk space, or second living area.
