A quieter side of Outer Banks living awaits in gated First Flight Ridge, one of Kitty Hawk's sought-after, established communities. Custom-built in 2022 by Forrest Seal, this distinctive coastal home combines high-end craftsmanship, beautiful sound views from multiple levels, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan that makes everyday living feel like a retreat. Clad in classic cedar shake and board-and-batten siding, the home offers timeless coastal character with beautifully curated interiors. At its heart, an airy, open-concept living space strikes the perfect balance between connection and purpose, with thoughtfully defined areas for gathering, dining, and relaxing. The kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador range, and a wet bar/pantry with wine refrigeration. Built-in nooks and bookcases, classic wainscoting, distinctive wallpapers, wood and tile flooring, and a wood-burning fireplace bring warmth and personality throughout. Expansive sound views from multiple levels provide an ever-changing backdrop to daily life. The home's thoughtful comforts continue into the primary suite, featuring a walk-in closet, steam shower, heated bathroom floors, and heated towel warmer. A second full bathroom also offers a heated towel warmer, while whole-house water filtration adds another layer of everyday luxury. Outdoor living is equally special. Generous front and back porches, multiple decks, and a poolside patio create inviting spaces to enjoy the coastal breeze, entertain friends, or simply unwind. The private, heated saltwater pool is surrounded by a fenced yard and mature live oaks, creating a peaceful, leafy setting. An outdoor shower and garden bed complete this backyard retreat. A standout feature is the separate ground-level guest suite, conveniently opening directly to the pool area. With its own private exterior entrance, bedroom, kitchenette, living area, and patio, this versatile space is ideal for entertaining, extended family, multigenerational living, or potential rental use, subject to applicable requirements. An attached one-car garage and carport offer additional convenience and storage. Directly behind the home, the soundfront Wright Brothers multi-use path invites waterfront walks, spectacular sunsets, and encounters with coastal wildlife just steps from your door. Residents also enjoy access to the community dock. The beach is approximately 1.2 miles away, while local favorites like Trio, Captain Franks, and the shops at Buccaneer's Walk are nearby. With beautiful water views, exceptional indoor-outdoor living, and an established gated neighborhood in the heart of Kitty Hawk, this one-of-a-kind property captures the very best of the Outer Banks lifestyle.
