Located at 8466 Caratoke Highway in Powells Point, NC, this commercial property offers a rare opportunity to own an entire office building just minutes from the Wright Memorial Bridge and the Outer Banks. The building is part of the SAMPAT Professional Center and is currently configured as four separate units—two upstairs and two downstairs—each deeded individually.

The flexible layout makes this an attractive investment for continued single-tenant use or future multi-tenant conversion. With multiple private offices, common areas, and a large space currently used for storage and conferences, the building would be especially well-suited for professional services such as a medical or dental practice.
