You'll be greeted by curb appeal and charm as soon as you pull up to this Cape Cod style custom home on a large canalfront lot in Southern Shores. The front yard is nicely landscaped with golf course views. The entire backyard is canalfront with ample yard space, beautiful mature trees and includes a canalfront dock. The canal leads to the open waters of the Currituck Sound. Enjoy boating and kayaking right from your backyard. The home was custom built in 1993 and has remained in the same family ever since and never used as a rental. While the home is advertised as a 3 bedroom, it is functioning as a 4 bedroom and with more additional bonus space. The covered front porch adds to the charm, welcoming you as you walk thru the front door into the hardwood floor entryway with views of the stone fireplace in the living space. The formal dining room is to your left before you get to the living space. As you enter the family room, you're greeted with tall ceilings and open space. You'll see the kitchen to your left. Two walls of windows surround the kitchen table, with plenty of space for a large dining or farmhouse table. The kitchen space itself is workable, with plenty of cabinets, natural light and best of all, a very very large pantry! This is a kitchen designed for someone who loves to cook and entertain! Off of the kitchen and family room, accessibly by ample french doors, is a large covered screen porch that also backs up to the fireplace. The screened porch leads to the large backyard. On one side of the living space is the primary bedroom with walk-in closet and large attached bathroom. Down the hall, there is a powder room, a laundry room with wash sink and storage and the entrance to the HUGE garage. The owners walled off one section of the garage to be storage, and it's accessible from the backyard via an exterior door. On the second level of the home you'll find one full and one half bathroom, 3 additional bedrooms and lots of bonus space. One of the bedrooms has a walk-in closet that leads to a large unfinished space that could easily be finished into a playroom, office or bonus space! It's huge! Another bedroom has an attached finished office/craft space. Additionally, there's a door leading from the hallway into walk-in attic storage. There is so much space in this home! This gem is solidly built and ready for new owners to freshen it up with some cosmetic updates. This home has so much to offer it's new owner!
