About This Home

Timeless opulence in Manteo! This exquisitely crafted home showcases top-tier quality in both the primary residence and its charming guesthouse. The brick entry stairs lead to the serene front porch with IPE flooring and T&G ceiling. Step through the custom mahogany door into an interior radiating warmth and sophistication. The main living area, enveloped in cypress plank, boasts stunning lighting, a wood-burning fireplace with a gas log lighter, and 6-over-1 double-hung windows. It flows effortlessly into a dining space adorned with elegant furnishings and striking decor. The kitchen is equally as spectacular and boasts quartz countertops, glass subway tiled backsplash, custom Medallion cabinetry (all dovetailed and soft close), GE gas range (6 burner with griddle) and stainless hood system. The adjacent pantry provides ample space for all your supplies. Here, there is a powder room with dazzling tile work and Kohler fixtures. The second level of the main residence is home to 3 three bedrooms, as well as a convenient office/sitting area. The primary King en-suite features a private bath equipped with luxurious tile shower surrounded in clear glass and marble twin vanity. Two other bedrooms on this level connect through a Jack n Jill bath that is equally impressive with custom tile work and double marble vanity. Both levels of the house feature nine foot ceilings and eight foot, six panel, solid core doors enhancing the home’s grandeur. Adjacent to the main residence is the completely detached guesthouse (Myrtle’s Retreat) with its own abundance of comfort and stylishness. This cozy open concept studio apartment offers a full kitchen, living area, queen bedroom and custom tiled bath. This entire space is draped in the quality and style of the main house. There is a separate laundry area as well as a relaxing balcony perfect for an evening glass of wine. Below the guesthouse you’ll find a private garage with abundant storage and extra fridge. Both homes are being sold with all of the magnificent furnishings.
The property is part of the Marshes Light subdivision, offering a private marina with boat slips.
Perhaps the greatest draw is the convenience to downtown Manteo. A waterfront boardwalk at the end of the street leads directly to Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse and the charming historical town center. Dining, shopping and entertainment abound in this vibrant waterfront part of town. This is one of the most coveted areas in the Outer Banks due to the charm of the neighborhood, proximity to downtown and relative short distance to the beaches. This home packages it all together with convenience, elegance and superior craftsmanship!
