About This Home

As of February 2025

Just a short walk to the ocean, THE PLAYHOUSE TOO is the perfect spot to make your Hatteras Island dreams come true! This home’s location can’t be beat—walk to the most famous surfing break on the East Coast, bike to the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and explore all the wonderful shops, restaurants, and activities that Buxton has to offer. With rich local history and plenty of modern comforts, this home is a standout for fun, relaxation, and even as an investment opportunity. It brought in over $63,000 in rental income in 2024 and already has bookings lined up for next year.

The ground level welcomes you with a game room stocked with all the essentials for family fun—a ping pong table, foosball table, full-size commercial arcade game, and a wet bar with a mini-fridge. Outside, take a dip in the private swimming pool or unwind in the 6-person hot tub. Fire up the grill on the pool deck and enjoy dinner at the built-in poolside bar. This level also features two queen bedrooms—one with a private ensuite bath—and an additional shared full bath for convenience.

The mid-level offers plenty of room for everyone, featuring a spacious king bedroom with an ensuite bath and private deck access. A queen bedroom and a bunk bedroom share a full hall bath, providing comfort and convenience for family and guests. On the top level, the open and airy great room serves as the heart of the home, with a well-appointed kitchen featuring a breakfast bar and an adjacent dining area. Step into the screened porch with its picnic table for a relaxed dining experience, or head out to the deck to take in the fresh ocean air and stunning coastal views.

The crow’s nest above the screened porch is the perfect spot to enjoy panoramic views of the ocean and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Whether you’re starting your morning with a cup of coffee or ending your day under a canopy of stars, this space is sure to impress.

Beyond the property, Buxton is full of adventures waiting to be had. Treat yourself to delicious ice cream, grab a bite at one of the local restaurants, visit the arcade, or explore the historic lighthouse. With shops and amenities just a short walk or bike ride away, there’s always something to do.

Whether you're relaxing by the pool, enjoying fun-filled game nights, or exploring all that Buxton has to offer, THE PLAYHOUSE TOO is a place where memories are made. Don’t miss your chance to own this little piece of paradise in Buxton!
