This gently used 4 bedroom (2 are primary with a private bath, and all 4 bedrooms have a private bath access) 3.5 bath home is located in the coveted Seacrest community of Southern Shores. Seacrest Village has no public beach accesses making the beaches highly desirable and secluded. Just a few miles from the Wright Memorial Bridge and an easy walk or bike ride to the Village of Duck! Tucked away from the road and nestled under a canopy of trees providing extra privacy. This charming turn-key beach retreat lives large and has a functional open concept. Boasting a dry entry, cozy screen porch, massive wrap around sun deck, extended outdoor living space underneath the carport, and the short walk to a direct beach access. The top level features a spacious great room with cathedral ceiling and lots of windows providing a "tree house" ambience; a large kitchen, powder bath, and a primary ensuite bedroom that includes a private deck access with a retractable awning for extra shade, and a private bath. Adjacent to the dining area is the cozy screen porch that's perfect for morning coffees or evening cocktails. The top level wrap around deck is massive and has plenty of gathering spaces. The mid-level offers an expansive 2nd primary bedroom with an Ensuite private bath, 2 more bedrooms that share a full bath (jack and jill), and a laundry room. This level also has the main entry door, and a covered deck making it a good space to enjoy a book in the comforting hammock. The exterior boasts a dry entry, an outdoor shower, a large storage room, and extended outdoor living with lots of lighting, and a string of lights providing a fun space to entertain friends and family. This home sits high and dry with no flood insurance required and just steps away from the biking/walking path to Duck Village. The drainfield was replaced in 2016, and a section of the top level deck has been reinforced for the potential of a hot tub along with the addition of a 220 volt breaker. A lot of the homes on Twelfth Ave are either 2nd homes or primary residences making the beach even quieter. A pool should fit, however the Buyer's Agent will need to verify.
