About This Home

As of May 2023

This beautiful, and nicely elevated, oceanfront property is located directly on the beach and offers stunning ocean views and easy access to the water. Located just before the paved road ends, you will enjoy the quiet and wide Corolla beach and you might even spot some wild horses too! This property would make a great rental investment or second home, providing a tranquil and relaxing refuge in the quieter part of Corolla for anyone seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of their work routine. This turnkey oceanfront home's prime location allows for various recreational activities such as swimming, surfing, fishing, and bird watching, as well as opportunities to watch beautiful sunrises over the water. You are not far from the shops and restaurants of Corolla, the Currituck Lighthouse, Whalehead Club, and four wheel drive territory. Rental income potential for this property makes it an excellent investment for those looking to supplement their income or offset the costs of owning a second home. Recently updated, the design of this property focuses on creating a coastal casual atmosphere. A reverse floor plan allows for a very spacious and bright living area accented by new, large picture windows and sliders to capture the gorgeous views. With a beautiful wood burning fireplace and easy flow between the dining room and kitchen, the main floor is perfect for entertaining. The bright, updated kitchen is an ideal place for gathering together while prepping meals and is complete with new quartz counters and stainless steel appliances. On this floor, in addition to the social areas, elevated crows nest and half bath, there is a large primary bedroom with an attached private full bathroom. Two decks on this top level will allow you to take advantage of the coastal breezes or soak up the sun for your dose of vitamin D. On the mid-level, there are four more bedrooms all with lovely ocean views! Two of the bedrooms have their own attached private bathrooms, while the remaining rooms share a full bathroom between the two of them. Additionally, there is covered decking on the west side of the home; perfect for reading, relaxing in the shade and watching sunsets! On the ground floor, there is one more bedroom, a full bathroom, a game room area with foosball, access to the large private pool with ample pool patio for sunbathing and a hot tub for unwinding. Secured with a stable, well vegetated dune, this property is located right next to the beach walkway for easy access to the shoreline. All of this can be found on a quiet cul-de-sac in the northernmost part of the paved road areas of Corolla!
