This meticulously maintained home is private, close to the beach, and nestled in the woods on the highly coveted Circle Drive area of Southern Shores. Unlike some of the other streets in Southern Shores, this home faces the east and is situated on a 20,000-square-foot lot. Custom built by Olin Finch, this home is a proven rental producer while still having an "at home" feel. Set up as a reverse floor plan, the top level has an open floor plan with real hardwood floors, granite countertops, and updated stainless steel appliances. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together and make for a great gathering area for big families. There is one primary bedroom upstairs with a large bathroom equipped with a jet tub and walk-in closet. The room also has access to the top-level deck which has recently been upgraded to Trex decking and a screened-in porch. The middle level has four other bedrooms, two of which are primary rooms along with an extra seating area with a TV, couch, and recliner. The backyard has a large pool and pool deck which is great for relaxing days off the beach. This home sits two lots away from the private neighborhood walkway to Ocean Boulevard and the beach access which makes for a quick and peaceful walk to the beach. The house currently does not have an elevator, but an elevator shaft is currently framed in and being used at owner storage closets. Houses on this street don’t come on the market very often, don’t miss your chance to own your dream home in Southern Shores!
