This small, peaceful cottage is tucked away along the calm shoreline of the Albemarle Sound, where the water stretches wide and the atmosphere feels unhurried and restorative! Compact, cozy and easy to maintain, it is perfect for a second home, vacation get-away, hunter or fisherman's paradise or Airbnb. The cottage, named the Egret, is already a well-established Airbnb with great ratings, which could provide instant income! Being sold FULLY FURNISHED so all you need to do is pack your bags! Simply designed with a single bedroom, a full bathroom, comfortable living room with pull-out couch for extra guests and a beautiful kitchen and dining area with open water views. Another great feature is a private screened porch! A perfect spot where you can sit with your morning coffee or afternoon meal while looking out over the water enjoying the kind of horizon that changes color at sunrise and sunset. Outside, the experience expands. The 1.7 acres contains the 4 cottages that share a common area. There's a deck for grilling, a pier for fishing and plenty of room to sit, relax and enjoy nature, sometimes even spotting dolphins moving through the sound. Several updates have been made recently including a new HVAC system in 2022, new appliances, and new screen on porch. The property includes a community well and septic and shared storage building. The HOA provides common area & driveway maintenance service, keeping it well maintained, along with updates to pier and whatever is needed. High speed Internet provided by Starlink. Despite its quiet, tucked away feel, it's still conveniently located just a short drive to town and less than 45 minutes to the iconic beaches of the Outer Banks!
