Welcome to Serendipity, a classic Ocracoke cottage tucked just one lot back from Silver Lake. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home blends historic island character with modern updates, featuring original pine wood floors, beadboard walls, and a light-filled layout that feels warm and welcoming. The first floor includes a spacious king ensuite with a walk-in tiled shower, an additional full bath, and an open kitchen and dining area that flows seamlessly to the living room. Upstairs you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a large bath with a tiled walk-in shower and vintage-style flooring. Outdoor living is a highlight with a covered front porch, a large ground-level deck perfect for gathering, and a private outdoor shower surrounded by beautiful landscaping. From the porch and the property, enjoy an unobstructed view of Silver Lake that will never be blocked—a rare treasure on Ocracoke. Just down the path, take advantage of the harbor easement with a shared dock complete with water and 50-amp electric, ideal for boating, crabbing, or simply watching the sun slip into the harbor. Life on Ocracoke is about slowing down and savoring the simple pleasures. Bike to local shops and restaurants, stroll to the harbor for live music or fresh seafood, and explore the island’s pristine beaches, nature trails, and historic landmarks. Whether you’re setting out for a day on the water, gathering with neighbors for a fish fry, or unwinding on the porch with a glass of wine, this home is the perfect base for the Ocracoke lifestyle. The current owner has chosen to limit rentals, but a rental projection is on file for $71,000 to $96,000 annually, making Serendipity not only a charming retreat but also a smart investment. Opportunities like this rarely come available—don’t miss your chance to make this island gem your own.
