Welcome to Shallow Point, a beautifully positioned waterfront home tucked along historic Askins Creek in the heart of Avon. Set on a private cul-de-sac with no through traffic, this property offers a peaceful, tucked-away feel while still being just a short walk to the beach and minutes from everything Avon has to offer. With sound and creek views stretching across the marsh, this home captures the kind of setting that makes people fall in love with Hatteras Island. The reverse floor plan brings all the natural light upstairs, where the open living, dining, and kitchen area is surrounded by windows and designed to take full advantage of the water and wetland views. This 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home also includes a flex room currently set up as a fourth bedroom, plus an additional flexible space off the kitchen that could easily serve as a home office, media room, or hobby space. The spacious layout is a result of a thoughtful addition and renovation completed around 2005, giving this home more room than many others of its age. There’s also a ground-level workshop and utility area offering great storage, workspace, and even a second refrigerator. Step outside onto the expansive decks and take it all in—morning coffee with a sunrise over the marsh or winding down in the evening as the sky lights up over the sound. The yard is nicely landscaped, there’s an outdoor shower ready for beach days, and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. Location is everything here. Take advantage of nearby ORV Ramp 38 for easy year-round vehicle and pedestrian access to Hatteras Island’s wide, uncrowded beaches. Spend your days exploring both the ocean and sound sides, or head just down the road to Canadian Hole, one of the East Coast’s most well-known spots for kiteboarding and windsurfing. When you're ready for dinner or errands, you’re just minutes from Avon’s shops, restaurants, medical center, and the island’s only chain grocery store. With a history as both a primary residence and a vacation rental, this home offers flexibility for whatever your goals may be. Whether you're looking for a second home, investment property, or full-time coastal living, Shallow Point checks all the boxes with its setting, layout, and views.
