Pride of ownership shows in this 5-bedroom, 5.5 bath home located in the desirable Southern Shores neighborhood of Chickahauk. Nestled among the Live Oaks and backing up to designated open space, yet just a 5-minute walk to the beach, this lovely home offers quality construction and upscale finishes throughout. Turnkey in every way, this home will impress even the most discerning buyer with its Florez & Florez floorplan consisting of an open concept living/dining/kitchen area, 4 primary en suites with private balconies, multiple versatile living/bonus areas, a mudroom with dry entry, and a large bonus room and full bath over the garage. If that isn’t enough, the screened porch and multiple decks offer additional space to dine or relax and enjoy the quiet nature of this private oasis. Everywhere you look are high-end touches. The upper level features a spacious reverse floorplan highlighted by cathedral ceilings, and lots of natural light. There is plenty of space to enjoy an evening in front of the gas fireplace in the family room or to dine on a meal prepared in the exquisite kitchen complete with stainless steel refrigerator, microwave, and true convection double ovens- all complimented by the premium granite counter tops. Al fresco dining is a breeze in the adjacent screened porch or top sun deck area. A treetop view of the Carolina blue skies is found from the adjoining cozy loft area with its over sized windows. The first of the 5 comfortable bedrooms is on this level. The en suite bath boasts a granite topped double vanity and a spa tub, as well as great natural light. The resort feel of this primary bedroom is further enhanced by the private balcony where early risers can experience the awakening of another day of OBX living. Travel down past the convenient half bath to the mid-level where there are yet 3 more en suite bedrooms- all with granite appointed vanities and private balconies. An additional living space is found here providing diversity of use. Currently used as an office, this bonus space could easily function as an additional leisure area and has direct access to the sundeck overlooking the backyard and pool. Proceed to the ground level which features even more floorspace with versatile use that could easily be styled as a rec room as it leads out to the patio and pool area. This bonus area shares a full granite appointed bathroom with yet another spacious bedroom. There are so many thoughtful touches and so much intelligent design to this house that its not surprising that even the entire garage area is amazing. Connected by the midlevel deck with all its cozy seating areas, the finished room over the garage provides generous living space not included in the main house square footage and, of course, it has a beautiful full bathroom with granite, adding up to 6 bathrooms overall. The original garage has been turned into additional storage space for all kinds of beach toys, and yet makes a perfect year-round workout area due to the quality 2x6 construction and superior insulation found in the entire property. There is still a deep, roomy traditional garage for cars. But wait, that’s not all! The large gunite pool with ample lounge area is just another fabulous aspect to this incredible, peaceful property. Steeped in quality and wrapped in natural beauty, this haven of serene relaxation is a truly unique property. There are too many upscale touches and amenities to mention. The Chicahauk location offers a nature trail across the street, a short walk to the beach, community access to several parks, and an easy route to restaurants and shopping even during the busy summer season. This house is a “must-see”. You will be impressed by the aesthetic of the house, its pristine condition, the intelligent design, the finishes, and many, many other aspects of this OBX dream home.
