It is an open, comfortable space that features cork flooring, a remodeled bathroom, and a large open walk-in closet area.

There are two good sized bedrooms, a remodeled full bath, and an attached half bath with laundry (could be converted into a shower by future owner). All of these rooms share cork floors. The west bedroom leads to a small sundeck out the back of the house which could be expanded upon in the future. The yard below is level and cleared leading to woods at the back of the property. The septic was replaced and moved to the south side of the house in 2003, so there should be plenty of room for a pool in the back yard. The house sits on a private and wooded X flood zone lot (no flood insurance!), with plenty of live oaks and sound buffering from the surrounding woods to the east and west of the home. The overall condition of the home is excellent. The owners have taken great care of this property over the years, updating as they went along. The upgrades are too numerous to list. The icing on the cake is the location in beautiful Southern Shores, centrally located with a short bike ride to downtown Duck or Kitty Hawk for all the attractions and amenities, bars, shops and restaurants they have to offer. Or best of all, a very short stroll to the Beach!!
