About this Property

A single family home provides more privacy and more room vs a condo with hordes of people all around. A home also provides social distancing from other families when compared with a condo setting, an important consideration these days. This private home is set on a half acre corner lot in the maritime forest of Pine Knoll Shores. The generous open great room is the ideal place for family to gather, affording a appealing view of Bogue Sound. A full wall of glass doors along the back provides exceptional water vistas. If you're patient, you may see dolphin swimming by! Upscale furnishings and an exceptionally peaceful mood in a peaceful area.

There is a community private (gate card supplied) beach access with seating and showers. And also multiple community sound front parks close by. We like to go up to the sound front park to go canoeing (canoes included with the rental, and right by the floating dock launch) or sit on the pier and watch the blissful sunsets. A marvelous way to end a day.

The home layout is 3/3 and single level, so no staircase for older family members to climb. Come with your older parents or grandparents, no problem. Store all of your beach toys in the garage. There is generous parking... there is room for 8 cars.
