A true Hatteras classic, "Derryneen" has been a respite for family gatherings at the beach throughout its existence. You can tell it has been treated with loving care over the years and appears to be in great shape for the next owner to cherish for years to come. The original cottage includes three bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen with island bar, a dining area and living room. Step through the screened porch breezeway into a separate annex that includes an oversized bedroom, the second full bath, and laundry area in the extra 295 square feet of finished and heated/cooled space for a total of 1128 square feet. This clever setup is simply ideal for a bit of privacy without being completely removed from the festivities. It also allows flexibility for someone who may like the idea of occupying the main part of the house while producing extra income by renting the separate bed and bath, or even a resourceful owner occupant who may benefit from renting the 3 bedroom space out during the prime summer months while quietly occupying the smaller space. The lot offers nice privacy with many trees, parking for 2 cars under the house, parallel parking alongside Croaker Ct, and a lattice enclosure to store your beach toys, bikes, and more. You and your guests will love the quick jot to the beach which is just 4 houses from the ocean. Its central Avon location also gives you easy access to restaurants, a coffee shop, 24-hour gym, and a seafood market located almost across the street in addition to Avon's sidewalk for more exploration. The current owner has lightly rented the home in the past but is not obligated for the 2026 rental season so you have plenty of flexibility to use this home as your primary residence, second home, or vacation rental investment at an affordable price. Ask your favorite Realtor for the full list of updates dating back to the 2006 renovation which included new exterior siding, window replacements and drywall which replaced much of the original paneling. More recently, the home received a new Fortified Roof and interior painting in 2023, a new septic system in 2022, and bathroom updates in 2019 and 2020, and decking in 2017, among other care and updates each year.
