Looking for a residential home in a quiet neighborhood or a rental property with a proven history? This property offers both- a 5 Bedroom, 3 Bath home in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Southern Shores! "X" Flood zone (no flood insurance needed) with canal access AND walking distance to both the beach and sound! With almost 2400 sq. ft. of living area, this home provides an abundance of space both inside and outside. On the upper level, an open floor plan and vaulted ceilings lend a spacious feel to the living room, kitchen, and dining areas. The upstairs is an H floor plan, with two bedrooms and an updated bathroom on either side of the living area. Kitchen, baths, entry and porches all have new light fixtures and ceiling fans. This home features tile floors in the entry, kitchen and baths and carpeting in the living area and bedrooms. The upper level also includes its own stacked washer/dryer. The large covered front porch and a screened porch in the rear offer plenty of space to relax or entertain friends and family! The lower level features a living area in the center, which opens to bonus rooms one either side (office, craft room or exercise room perhaps?) and a bright, airy kitchen and dining area. You could use the downstairs living area as one large family or game room. The downstairs bedroom includes a sitting area and walk-in closet. An updated full bath and laundry completes this level. Both upstairs and downstairs have private entrances. The interior staircase connecting the two levels has a privacy door providing MANY possibilities for this home: Enjoy a spacious home with lots of room to make it your own, OR the downstairs is a perfect in-law apartment or rental (weekly or long-term) OR rent the upstairs and enjoy the downstairs for your own beach getaway. As an investment home, you can rent both upstairs and downstairs to separate long-term tenants, OR, use the home solely as a vacation rental home, with the large family room/game area and extra kitchen downstairs offering enough room for multiple families. This home has a solid proven rental history, generating $27,900 in long-term rental income in 2014 (upstairs income of $1425/mth and downstairs income of $900/mth). Spacious 22,000 sq. ft. lot includes a detached one car garage (360 sq. ft) in the backyard with a loft for storage. Carport is suitable for a large boat or motor home, so bring all of your toys! For additional storage, there is a detached storage shed in the backyard. Follow the path through the backyard to the rear of the property and you’ll find access to the canal and boat ramp for kayaking, canoeing, or paddle boarding- HARD TO FIND canal access in an “X” zone! Voluntary membership in the Southern Shores Civic Association is only $50/yr., and it features sound front beach access, Hillcrest ocean access, marina, parks, and play areas. Enjoy both the privacy that Southern Shores lends, but also the proximity to the town of Duck (only 2 miles) and to shopping centers in Kitty Hawk via the backroads. The location of this home can’t be beaten—easy access to both the ocean and sound, but tucked away from traffic. Make sure to put this one on your list- a "MUST SEE" in Southern Shores!
