About This Home

Classic coastal charm meets beachside convenience in this OBX original 1951 flat top cottage. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and the kind of character that newer homes just can’t imitate. Set on a private lot in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, this inviting home blends timeless details with thoughtful updates. The home has been preserved beautifully and features many updates including the roof and water heater in 2020; exterior paint in 2021; vinyl fence, light fixtures and fans in 2022; bathrooms, LVP, and HVAC in 2023; electrical and insulation replaced in 2025. Not only has this home braved every storm since 1951, but it has been cared for and well-maintained, giving you comfort and peace of mind for years to come. With approximately 1,252 square feet, the layout feels easy and welcoming, with a private entry that adds flexibility for personal use or rental appeal. Original wood floors bring warmth and personality, and the layout of the home is spacious and functional. Outside, the fenced yard creates room to relax, garden, or let beach days spill into the evening. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off after the ocean wonderfully simple and keeps the sand where it belongs. The outdoor shed gives you extra space for bikes or beach gear. The location places you close to everyday essentials while still preserving that laid-back beach feel. Location is a true highlight: direct beach access, short distance to the shoreline, and just minutes from local dining, shopping, and popular Outer Banks attractions. Whether you are looking for a full-time retreat, a weekend escape, or a property with strong vacation rental potential, this home delivers charm, convenience, and opportunity in equal measure.
