Built in 2019 and situated on approximately half an acre, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers 2,648 square feet in one of Southern Shores’ most desirable communities. Mature live oaks, natural landscaping and community open space to the east provide added privacy, while multiple beach accesses are just a short walk away. Designed for easy coastal ownership, the home features LP SmartSide siding and a Englert metal roof, offering a durable, low-maintenance exterior well suited for the Outer Banks. Inside, the quality continues with white oak hardwood flooring throughout, crisp white trim, neutral finishes and large windows overlooking the wooded surroundings. Plantation shutters in the main living area add both style and privacy. The main level features an open great room, dining area and kitchen with an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. A fireplace anchors the great room, while glass doors connect the living spaces to the large screened porch. The upgraded kitchen features extensive soft-close KraftMaid cabinetry, beautiful quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, pendant lighting, abundant storage, pantry, and a large center island with seating. A new refrigerator and dishwasher were added in August 2026. Additional upgrades include a reverse-osmosis water filtration system, tankless water heater, and fenced-in yard perfect for dogs.
