Zoned for residential and commercial use, it provides flexibility for various needs. The main level highlights the home’s cheerful atmosphere and craftsmanship. The family room features oak hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and multiple windows that fill the space with light. A gas fireplace anchors the room, while clerestory windows- set high along the walls- amplify daylight and accentuate the open design. A sliding glass door opens to the deck overlooking the backyard, creating an effortless connection to outdoor living. The kitchen continues the home’s cohesive aesthetic with quartz countertops, custom oak cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and a pantry, along with a reverse osmosis system for ice and drinking water. Flowing from the kitchen, the dining room is bright and inviting, surrounded by large windows and with its own deck access- ideal for dining al fresco in the tranquil setting. A guest bedroom and full bath complete this level, along with a conveniently located laundry area. Upstairs, the gallery overlooks the family room below, adding an airy connection between levels. A bright nook with built-in bookshelves and surrounding windows serves as a versatile space for reading, yoga, or quiet reflection. The spacious primary en suite includes a private full bath, ample closet space, and an adjoining room with windows on multiple sides that serves beautifully as an office, sitting area, or retreat. The ground level provides a dry entry from the attached carport into a mudroom. To one side is a utility room that adds to the home’s functionality; opposite it, a bonus room with an extra refrigerator and both a regular door and a doggie door opens to a private covered patio with a hot tub- an intimate place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Outdoors, the artist’s studio (18'x22') includes heating, AC, a large attic, and a separate shed enclosure- ideal for a workshop or office. The 14'x22' greenhouse offers water, electric, and temperature controls for year-round gardening beside a fenced raised-bed garden with well water irrigation. A 27'x41' RV canopy (with power and water hookups at the house) provides storage for recreational vehicles or boats. The backyard features open lawn space, flower beds, and a 20-foot round fire pit area with an extra-large, wood-burning, smokeless fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. The entire property is fully fenced for privacy and continuity across the grounds. The enormous backyard is buffered by trees and hedgerows, with views of the canal and saltmarsh at the front of the property. A public boat ramp is less than a mile away for added convenience. Blending the comfort of a well-maintained home with the serenity of its coastal setting, this property is designed for both purpose and enjoyment inside and out. With charm, privacy, and a natural connection to the water, this Kitty Hawk retreat captures the relaxed rhythm and enduring appeal of Outer Banks living.
