About this home
Perched high in the dunes of Southern Shores, 168 Wax Myrtle Trail is a one-of-a-kind coastal estate that blends timeless design with enduring quality and modern luxury. From sweeping ocean views to a private resort-style pool terrace, this home was thoughtfully designed for elevated Outer Banks living. An *elevator connects the main living level* to the ground-floor pool and cabana, creating seamless indoor–outdoor flow, while soaring cathedral ceilings, custom built-ins, and premium finishes define the interior. Built with longevity in mind, the home features over 1,000 square feet of covered composite decking—offering effortless maintenance and durability in the coastal climate—along with carefully selected materials throughout that prioritize both performance and style. The top level showcases an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area framed by *ocean views* and vaulted ceilings that bring the outdoors into the space. A gas fireplace with custom built-ins anchors the living room, while the kitchen is outfitted with a gas range, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The grand king suite on this level offers a spa-like bath with tiled walk-in shower and garden tub, forming a true owner’s retreat. The mid-level features a private queen suite with full bath, an additional bedroom or office suite with ocean views, a sun deck, and a half bath. On the first level, a second living area with wet bar and covered porch access creates the perfect entertaining space, complemented by two guest bedrooms—a king and a queen—served by a full hall bath. Outdoor living is the centerpiece of the home, designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The heated saltwater concrete pool, complete with an electric heater, is surrounded by elegant travertine decking and enhanced by a custom stone waterfall feature that creates both visual impact and a resort-like ambiance. Natural landscaping is thoughtfully integrated into the pool area, offering a private, tranquil setting. An expansive cabana with wet bar invites all-day enjoyment, while the hot tub, gas grill, and enclosed outdoor shower complete the experience. Additional features include a gas water heater, spacious laundry room, oversized pantry and storage off the kitchen, and a finished, conditioned storage space on the ground level ideal for seasonal items. The garage connects directly to the elevator, and the property offers parking for up to five vehicles. Multiple covered porches and sun decks provide ideal vantage points for sunrise views and coastal breezes, while the large lot and mature perimeter vegetation create a sense of privacy rarely found this close to the ocean. Located between Duck and Kitty Hawk, Southern Shores offers both privacy and convenience, with two beach access points just a short walk away. Owners and guests enjoy access to the Southern Shores Civic Association amenities, including tennis courts, a soundfront park, marina, and dedicated beach parking. Whether as a primary residence, second home, or luxury rental investment, 168 Wax Myrtle Trail delivers a rare combination of quality, privacy, and coastal lifestyle....
