Welcome to this exquisite, custom-built waterfront retreat nestled on an oversized canalfront parcel in the heart of Southern Shores. Designed by renowned architect John F. Wilson IV of Manteo and masterfully constructed by Calvin Gibbs in 2004, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers timeless craftsmanship and refined coastal elegance. From the moment you step inside, the superior quality of construction is evident. Rich “Currituck Beadboard” with pine tongue-and-groove accents—custom cut by Tri H Molding—grace the interiors, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. Beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout, complementing the warm and inviting aesthetic. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a large dual-fuel Thermador range (gas cooktop/electric oven), an industrial-grade Thermador vent hood vented to the exterior, a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine cooler in the wet bar, pot filler, walk-in pantry, and direct deck access for easy entertaining. All bathrooms are outfitted with premium Kohler fixtures, including sinks, toilets, towel bars, and showers—elevating everyday living with consistent luxury. This home has also seen significant, thoughtful upgrades in recent years, ensuring true turnkey convenience. Two of the four HVAC units have been replaced within the past 12 months, along with the water heater and a brand-new architectural roof. The entire exterior has been professionally painted, all decks replaced, and a whole-house water purification system with a booster pump added for optimal pressure. A fenced-in dog area was also recently added, providing a safe and comfortable space for your four-legged family members. In addition to the stunning home itself, this location offers a lifestyle few communities can match. Southern Shores is known for its winding walking trails, private marinas, tennis courts, dedicated beach access and a true sense of coastal serenity. Families will love the close proximity to Kitty Hawk Elementary, and those seeking leisure and connection will appreciate being just minutes from Duck Woods Country Club. Enjoy the convenience just a short drive—or bike ride—from some of the area’s most beloved shops and cafés, from morning coffee at Shore to curated finds at Sojourn. This is more than just a home—it’s a place to belong. With ample storage, expansive outdoor living areas, and breathtaking waterfront views, this turnkey property delivers elevated Outer Banks living at its finest. Whether you’re seeking a serene primary residence or a luxurious second home, this meticulously maintained retreat is ready for you and your family to make it your own.
