This home was designed and built with the care and concern of owners who wanted to incorporate strength, efficiency and the environment of the island. As an example, there are 2" x 12' roof rafters, and 6" walls to hold the heating and cooling. Additionally, this house was built to capitalize on the passive solar gain. The 350 sq ft screened porch, acting as a second summer living area, is shaded by the live oaks in the backyard, and comes fully outfitted with $10,000 worth of porch furniture. Besides 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, this home has a 270 sq ft workshop, a 204 sq ft storage area, a 7' x 8' outside shower room with a 4 ft fiberglass stall shower, and a 9.5' x 18'6' garage, with a cement floor. The garage can handle a car width of 7'8". There is a whole house generator, supplied by a 120 gallon propane tank. Also included are enough hurricane shutters for every window and awnings for the screened porch and front deck. Being owner occupied since it was built, this home has features of storage and functionality which are geared to year round living, but can easily be transformed into a very private yet centrally located weekly rental. This home has been lovingly cared for and meticulously maintained. With options as your nest on Ocracoke or a very desirable weekly rental, this home is a "must see".
