Impeccably maintained waterfront home in an X flood zone, tucked away on a quiet street in Southern Shores with short, easy access to both the beach and the Currituck Sound. Situated on a half-acre canalfront homesite, this custom-designed 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath coastal residence offers timeless appeal and the comfort of a traditional floor plan with a thoughtfully separated kitchen and living areas—ideal for those who value defined spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and everyday living. The classic layout allows the chef’s kitchen—appointed with a Thermador dual-fuel range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wet bar with wine cooler, walk-in pantry, and abundant storage—to function as its own inviting gathering hub, while the adjoining living spaces provide a peaceful retreat for conversation or unwinding. Hardwood floors, detailed beadboard, and tongue-and-groove accents enhance the home’s warm coastal character. Direct access from the main living areas to the canalfront lower deck and covered porch creates a seamless connection to outdoor living, perfect for entertaining, family gatherings, or simply enjoying the waterfront setting. Extensive recent upgrades—including a new architectural roof, new decks, new fenced dog area, fresh exterior paint, updated HVAC units, new water heater, and a whole-house water purification system—ensure this home is truly turnkey and move-in ready. The Southern Shores community offers private beach accesses, marinas, scenic walking trails, and tennis courts, along with close proximity to schools, Duck Woods Country Club with golf and pickleball, shopping, and dining. Whether as a primary residence, second home, or luxury Outer Banks retreat, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to own and enjoy a special slice of coastal living.
