Ground Level In Law suite of an additional 345 sq ft is permitted as heated/cooled living area but is not connected to the main living level and therefore not included in the total heated living area square footage for the home per NC real estate commission rules for counting heated living space.

Dare County Health Dept and Tax Accessors office have this listed as a 3 bedroom home. Large back yard is fenced and provides ample room for many activities. This house has so many potentials for its use from a private getaway nestled above the flood plain with close proximity to the ocean and sound, or long term rental which is in high demand, to a weekly rental. All of which are permitted in this subdivision. This home is perfect for investors looking for income opportunities or homeowners needing additional space for loved ones to reside. Dare County Tax Records show 1116 Finished Living Area because they are including the ground level heated and cooled In Law Suite and ground level laundry/utility room. Yet, NC real estate law does not allow me to include the ground level living area in my heated sq.ft. measurements due to no connection to the existing first floor heated living space.
