A hidden gem and custom-built retreat -- truly one of Kill Devil Hills’ best-kept secrets. Privately positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by nature, this thoughtfully designed, pristine 3-bedroom (with a 4th bonus flex room) 2.5-bath home offers sweeping sound views, exceptional privacy, and a rare connection to nature—while sitting approximately 25 feet above sea level and not located in a flood zone (home in X), meaning no flood insurance required. Custom built in 2016 by award winning OBX builder, Forrest Seal, the home showcases quality construction throughout, including insulated interior walls, solid wood doors, engineered hardwood flooring in the main living areas, and plush carpeted bedrooms. Two spacious primary suites—one on each level—provide flexible living and ideal separation for guests or multigenerational living. The custom kitchen features Medallion solid wood soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops in Giallo Cream, a Hansgrohe rain shower, and GE Profile appliances, including a new 2025 induction convection range. The open living space flows seamlessly to the rear of the home, where expansive hurricane-impact coastal windows frame stunning sound views and preserve peace and privacy. Bathrooms are equally refined, featuring quartz countertops, matching Medallion cabinetry in a soft Divinity coastal cream, Kohler fixtures, and a luxurious Hansgrohe rain shower with handheld in the first-floor primary bath. Fanimation ceiling fans enhance comfort throughout, while custom built-in solar shades—remote-controlled on the upper level—add both function and style. Additional highlights include a new 2025 hot water heater, new GE Profile washer and dryer, surround sound wiring with Martin Logan speakers and TVs (negotiable), Briggs & Stratton 6250 watt portable generator, cable and internet connections in every room, and a 5’ x 10’ utility trailer included with the sale. Some furnishings are negotiable with an acceptable contract. The front porch and lower level entry furniture does convey. Set on a secluded lot bordered by estate property that the sellers have been told will not be built on anytime soon, this home offers rare tranquility in what is essentially your own private nature preserve while being centrally located and close to everything the Outer Banks has to offer.
