This exceptional cottage boasts a prime location with direct beach access, situated just three lots away from the ocean on 8th Street. Featuring a reverse floor plan, the spacious top level encompasses the living room, dining area, kitchen, and a cozy nook. Tall ceilings allow for tremendous natural light, with an open concept floor plan giving plenty of space and ease of use of the top floor sun deck. A convenient half bath is also located off the living room, adjacent to a game nook for some good family drama with a sit down space for anyone that "just needs to check in at the office". Two sliding doors from the dining area lead to a generous wrap-around sundeck, offering stunning ocean views looking east and south into Nags Head. Huge Sun Deck makes for ample space for outside dining, entertaining and sun bathing. The middle level comprises four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with the two rear bedrooms providing access to the expansive deck. Recently updated bathrooms provide a contemporary beach feeling. All the bedrooms are painted in fun beach colors adding that special extra splash that guests love. The covered porch on the bedroom level provides more outside living space with clear views of the ground floor pool deck. House has only been rented to family, friends and referrals the last ten years. The ground floor features a dry entry, a separate laundry room, a storage room, an outdoor shower, and covered parking. Patio space blends seamlessly to a fenced in private pool deck, offering guest another outdoor space to gather and recreate around a large pool. This home, characterized by its straightforward design and spacious layout, is ideal as a sacred second home sanctuary, a weekly rental machine or an opportunity for a hard to find location on the 8th street access.
