WELCOME TO YOUR PRIVATE SANCTUARY IN THE WOODS. Nestled on over an acre of private, wooded land in Hatteras Pines, this charming coastal home offers the perfect blend of beachside ease and peaceful tranquility— just minutes from the ocean. With three spacious bedrooms, each featuring an ensuite bath, plus a first-floor half-bath, this well-designed retreat is ideal for full-time living, seasonal escapes, or long-term rental. The layout includes a generous eat-in kitchen, a large laundry room with utility sink and shelving, and an oversized two-car garage complete with workshop space and dry-entry convenience. Built at a high elevation outside the flood zone, it comes equipped with two newer heat pump systems (2023 and 2024), a whole-house generator, and accordion storm shutters for peace of mind. Outdoor living is a highlight, featuring a full-length front porch, a huge screened rear porch with grilling deck, and a private balcony. The porches are outfitted with heavy-duty deck furniture to be included in the sale. Storage is plentiful, with walk-in closets, storage rooms off upstairs bedrooms, a walk-up attic, and thoughtfully placed linen & coat closets throughout. Priced below assessed tax value, this nature-wrapped sanctuary is a rare opportunity to enjoy comfort, security, and coastal charm in one of Hatteras Island’s most sought after neighborhoods.
