Own a Piece of Outer Banks History at 1513 Colington Road in Kill Devil Hills. Set on a generous half-acre lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style cottage isn’t just a home - it’s a living story of the OBX’s maritime heritage. Built in 1965, the property was once part of the area’s thriving seafood industry - serving as a working site for shrimping, crabbing, and soft-shell crab shedding. Generations of watermen helped shape the Outer Banks from this very location, contributing to a legacy that still defines the culture and economy of the coast today. That legacy lives on in the original crab shack still standing on the property - equipped with electricity and full of potential for creative use, restoration, or preservation. The land itself offers more than just history. Mature grape vines and a well-established fig tree add a touch of coastal charm and sustainability to the yard, inviting you to enjoy seasonal harvests and the timeless beauty of the landscape. The home offers single-level living with a spacious interior, including a cozy living room with fireplace, abundant natural light, and a layout that invites both relaxation and restoration. With three well-sized bedrooms, two full baths, and a large detached garage/workshop, this property is the perfect canvas for history-minded homeowners to preserve, personalize, or expand. Whether you're dreaming of a private retreat, a vintage-inspired vacation rental, or simply want to own land that tells a story, this property delivers. Located minutes from the sound, the ocean, Colington Harbour, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial, you’ll find both heritage and opportunity here. 1513 Colington Road isn’t just real estate, it’s a rare chance to become part of the Outer Banks' living history.
