About This Home

As of January 2025

A very few, sparse areas of the Outer Banks can offer true, one-of-a-kind location opportunities. Privacy, land size, updated and strong ocean views are not home concepts typically found together ....323 W Bluejay is the Diamond in the Rock that offers just that. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on one of the highest points of land in Nags Head and backing up to the Nags Head Woods ecological preserve and the rear of the YMCA land mass, this .26 Acre parcel lives much larger than its footprint. Daily sunrises over the Ocean, native wildlife viewing, adventurous hiking trails out your back door, western exposure sunsets and starlit skies are all on offer. If you’ve been looking for just the right beach cottage to kick off your outer banks adventure look no further! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath beach home with a newer Airbnb downstairs combines all the elements beautifully with its classic outside Cedar lap cottage look and its beautifully updated and spacious 1,612 square foot beachy interior. Designed to flow into its natural surroundings with extensive outdoor living. The homes decking, flagstone pavers, firepit, screened porch, pass through carport and Led wrapped pine trees with native garden plants and shrubs are all perfectly placed to capture the essence of this creative yard scape...your own OBX Shangri-La. The top level of this home has 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom with a wide-open floor plan, abundance of natural light and has been lovingly updated with a New Kitchen and Bathroom along with Antiqued high grade LVP flooring throughout (Full list of detailed improvements available by your Broker also include a Fortified Roof). Designed with storage in mind, ample modern cabinet spaces accentuate the clean interior. Couple all that with a dedicated 2021 build out of a mother-in-law suite on the ground level that has averaged rental history of 20,000 in owner income after commissions for only a 4-month availability, this allows this primo cottage to function well for any occupancy options. The MIL suite is sold fully furnished and offers high end, detailed ceramic tile flooring throughout, a foyer and office, full kitchen (minus a stove) Living Room, bathroom with heated tile floors and a gorgeous walk-in shower and bedroom/flex space. Ship lap, creative storage, modern cabinetry, beachy but elegant...this spot screams WOW! This space has its own sliding glass doors leading to a private courtyard with its deck and firepit overlooking the preserve. Price, Condition and Location are all on lock down here, if you aren’t running to see this, you're either losing your vision, or your legs may be broken...call me today and I will pick you up for a private tour of this gem.
