About this home
ONCE IN A GENERATION OUTER BANKS LEGACY ESTATE! Some homes are purchased. Some are treasured for generations. Few ever become available. Held by the same family for four generations, this extraordinary oceanfront estate represents a rare opportunity to own one of the most unique residential properties on the Outer Banks. Situated on approximately ONE ACRE with an incredible 130 FEET OF OCEAN FRONTAGE, this exceptional homesite offers two to three times the ocean frontage found with many oceanfront properties, creating a level of privacy, space, and exclusivity that is becoming increasingly rare. Originally constructed in 1957, the home underwent a remarkable transformation in 2006 that would be nearly impossible to replicate today. Rather than remove a cherished piece of Outer Banks history, the original cottage was carefully elevated and preserved as the upper level of the home while two entirely new levels were constructed beneath it. During the reconstruction, the home received new plumbing, electrical systems, windows, exterior doors, cedar shake siding, and modern infrastructure throughout. An ELEVATOR was added to provide convenient access to all levels. The result is a one-of-a-kind coastal retreat where historic character and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony. The home provides generous accommodations for family gatherings, vacation guests, or rental investment potential. The mid-level serves as the heart of the residence, featuring a spacious great room with custom built-ins, a gas log fireplace, maple hardwood floors, and an expansive kitchen designed for entertaining. Granite countertops, a large island bar, quality stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a gas cooktop, and hanging pot rack combine function and style for effortless coastal living. Two beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms are located on this level, including one featuring a porcelain clawfoot soaking tub. A convenient powder room completes the space. The upper level is where the home's rich history truly comes alive. The preserved cottage showcases stunning original oak floors, magnificent tongue-and-groove cypress walls and ceilings, and craftsmanship that simply cannot be duplicated today. A second living area with vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace, and dedicated space for cards, games, and puzzles creates an inviting retreat filled with character and warmth. The ground level is designed for recreation and relaxation, featuring a game room with billiards, large-screen television, wet bar, kitchenette, refrigerator, and half bath. Guests can step directly outside to enjoy the property's impressive outdoor amenities. The home is positioned well back from the Atlantic Ocean, with approximately 170 feet separating the eastern pool fence from the frontal dune, creating an expansive setting seldom found on today's oceanfront properties. A private walkway leads to a dune-top gazebo, providing an unforgettable vantage point for sunrise views over the Atlantic. A private in-ground pool measuring approximately 32' x 12', surrounded by an expansive pool deck spanning roughly 55' x 32'. Expansive wraparound covered decks on the upper levels extend along the east, south, and west sides of the home, providing ocean views, views of the Wright Brothers Monument, refreshing southwest breezes, and countless opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the Outer Banks. Additional features include covered parking, ample off-street parking, and a private drive from Beach Road that enhances both privacy and arrival. Properties offering this combination of history, acreage, ocean frontage, privacy, craftsmanship, and modern conveniences rarely become available. Whether envisioned as an extraordinary second home, a premier investment property, or a legacy estate for future generations, this offering represents a truly irreplaceable opportunity. This is a piece of Outer Banks history thoughtfully preserved, beautifully reimagined, and ready for its next chapter!...
