Located in the well-established Burnside Forest, 1086 Burnside is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home on a 0.64-acre lot, with septic already permitted for 5 bedrooms. Held by the same family since 1978, it's suited equally to year-round living or a summer retreat. The 2024 renovation brought major updates across the home: new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, all-new Andersen windows, a propane tankless water heater, a gas log fireplace, and fresh paint inside and out, while the kitchen was reimagined with quartz countertops, refreshed cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a dual-fuel gas range. There's a real ease to how the main floor is laid out. The living room, dining room, and kitchen flow together while remaining distinct. Just off the kitchen, a second gathering space is anchored by the gas log fireplace and filled with natural light. A full bath on this level serves guests. Picture a Saturday morning: someone reading on the sofa, the table being set, and breakfast cooking — everyone drifting between rooms without leaving the conversation. Upstairs, the primary suite is a quiet retreat of its own, with views back toward the treeline. A completely updated bath opens right off the bedroom, spa-inspired with a soaking tub and separate shower, and a large two-sided walk-in closet is easily shared. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath on this level. A finished room over the garage is currently used as an office, with flexible square footage suited to a studio, guest room, or playroom, separate from the main living space. Step outside, and the property opens right up. Almost 2/3 of an acre lot spans several distinct spaces, surrounded by mature trees. A new back deck, added in 2025, is set up for entertaining, while established gardens bring color through most of the year. A new shed, also added in 2025, keeps the mower, tools, and beach gear all in one place. The lot stretches back to mature woods, offering privacy less than two miles from downtown Manteo and the Manteo school complex — and a small sound front beach is a short walk away, close enough for an evening stroll to catch the sunset. Downtown Manteo. Roanoke Island Festival Park. The Elizabethan Gardens. All just minutes away — and the OBX ocean beaches, a short drive over the bridge. Whether it's a quiet weekday evening on the back deck after work or a summer weekend with towels already in the car, 1086 Burnside fits the pace of life you bring to it.

Named after Manteo, chief of the Roanoke Indians, Manteo is the County Seat of Dare County. At one time the protection of Shallowbag Bay made Manteo a prosperous port. As roads and bridges made their way to the Outer Banks the importance as a port waned and Manteo morphed into a quaint tourist destination.

As you cross over the Roanoke sound on the Washington Baum bridge that connects Nags Heads and Roanoke Island you will see a Pirates Cove subdivision on your right. Continue on down Rte 158 and you will come to an intersection. Turn left and you will end up in Wanchese, turn right and you will be on your way to Manteo.

Traveling north on Virginia Dare Road you will see the entrances to College of the Albemarle and the Peninsula on your right and the Dare County Justice Center on your left. Moving along you come to Collins Creek and Shallowbag Bay Condos on your right and across the street is subdivision of Vista Lake.

If you turn right just past the Manteo Middle School you will end up in down town historic Manteo. Here you will find picturesque tree and shop lined streets, the Elizabeth II replica 16th century sailing ship and the Roanoke Island Festival Park surrounding the Manteo waterfront. Well worth a day trip.

North of the town you will find the Lost Colony outdoor drama, Fort Raleigh National Monument and the Manteo Airport. Town Of Manteo
