This beautifully updated and versatile coastal retreat offers everything you could want in a primary residence, second home, or high-performing / rental. Nestled in a coveted X Flood Zone, there's no lender-required flood insurance, giving you peace of mind and long-term savings. Wake up to tranquil mornings by a peaceful pond and unwind under the stars -- every room in the home overlooks a peaceful, protected bird sanctuary alive with native wildlife. Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying a glass of wine by moonlight, the views here are pure serenity. Beach access? Just 575 yards away! Take a short 5-minute walk or golf cart ride to the shoreline, or hop on the bike path right outside your door and cruise into the charming town of Duck for a coffee, boutique shopping, or a casual stroll. Inside, the home features a thoughtful reverse floor plan with elevator access to all levels, perfect for both convenience and accessibility. The top level showcases a spacious great room, remodeled kitchen, dining area, and a serene primary suite--all opening onto a large sun deck perfect for entertaining or soaking in the views. The living room includes a fireplace, prepped for propane hookup if desired. The mid-level offers three oversized bedrooms, three full baths, a laundry area, and a versatile bonus room that can serve as a fifth bedroom, home office, or art studio. Downstairs, the converted garage adds 560 square feet of heated space, currently serving as a studio or gym, with easy handicap-accessible access via double sliders. There's also a large storage/equipment room, interior garage access, and more. Step into the private backyard oasis, where you'll find a fenced yard with landscaped gardens, a dog run, and a salt-treated in-ground pool--ideal for relaxing days in the sun or entertaining guests.
