Nestled in the sought-after Brakewood community on the north end of Roanoke Island, this charming 3-bedroom, 4.5-bath Southern-style home offers a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and expert craftsmanship. Built in 2000 by renowned builder Don Seaton as his personal residence, this home was constructed with high-quality materials and thoughtful attention to detail. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, it provides both privacy and convenience, just minutes from schools, shops, historic landmarks, and downtown Manteo. Inside, the home displays warmth and character with ¾ pine hardwood floors throughout the downstairs, pine wainscoting, and custom pine trim on all interior doors and windows. The open floor plan and 9’ ceilings create a spacious and inviting atmosphere, while wooden beams in the living room add rustic charm. A cozy propane fireplace enhances the living space, making it the perfect place to relax. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring high-end appliances, quartz countertops, a wood ceiling, and upgraded finishes. The built-in automatic coffee maker and convection steam oven add both luxury and convenience. While the range and other appliances are stainless steel, the refrigerator and dishwasher are designed to match the cabinetry, offering a seamless, custom look that enhances the overall elegance of the space. Three-piece crown molding in the living room and dining room adds a refined touch. The finished room over the garage provides flexible space for a guest suite, home office, or playroom, while the attached garage offers additional storage. A large attic storage area ensures plenty of room for all your needs. Step outside and experience your own private fenced-in backyard oasis, complete with an in-ground pool, a large pool deck, and lush palm trees. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening, this beautifully landscaped retreat is perfect for outdoor living. The wrap-around porch, featuring a wood ceiling, adds timeless Southern charm and is an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Jasmine is trimmed across the back porch and beautifully covers the pergola by the poolside, enhancing the serene setting. Built to last, this home features aged wood construction to prevent warping, and all joists, trusses, and collar beams are bolted together rather than nailed, exceeding industry standards for durability and strength. Several recent updates, including a fully renovated kitchen, new HVAC systems, a Generac generator, and a new roof, make this home move-in ready. A full list of upgrades and improvements is available in the associated documents. With its prime location, high-quality craftsmanship, and stunning outdoor space, this home is a rare find—perfect for first-time buyers, retirees, or families seeking a peaceful community with easy access to the beauty and history of the Outer Banks.
