?? PRICE SLASHED — $50,000 REDUCTION ?? 234 Soundside Drive | Colington Harbor, NC | NOW $649,000 Waterfront. Boat dock. Electronic lift. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. And just dropped $50,000. This is the Outer Banks waterfront lifestyle at a price that makes sense. Colington Harbor is one of the best kept secrets on the OBX — tucked away, peaceful, and surrounded by water. Pull your boat up to your own private dock, sit on the water, and watch the sun go down. This is what people move here for. At $649,000 this won't last. Waterfront homes with a dock and lift at this price point are rare. Buyers who have been waiting for a deal on the OBX — this is it. This isn't just a canalfront home — it's a complete waterfront lifestyle package that most buyers in this price range only dream about. Tucked inside the gated boating community of Colington Harbour, 234 Soundview Drive delivers deep-water canal access, a motorized boat lift, private dock, soaring vaulted ceilings, panoramic water views, and a fully separate ground-level suite — all at a price point that makes this the smartest buy on the water right now. Let's talk about the layout — because this is where 234 Soundview separates itself. The main residence is thoughtfully designed with four spacious bedrooms and two and one half beautifully appointed baths, each serving distinct areas of the home so that no one is sharing, waiting, or compromising. The primary suite commands the entire top floor with sweeping canal views, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired private bath — your personal retreat above it all. The mid-level hosts three additional bedrooms, each with deck access and canal views, sharing a well-appointed full and 1/2 bath conveniently located on the same floor. Every bedroom. Every bath. Right where they need to be. Then there's the ground level — and this is where the value story gets serious. A fully separate, self-contained suite with its own private entrance sits ready for whatever you need it to be: a short-term rental generating immediate income from day one, a private guest wing for family so visits never feel crowded, a multigenerational living suite, or a game room and hang-out space for the whole crew. No tenant. No lease. No complications. Move in, decide how you want to use it, and start maximizing it immediately. Outside, the Outer Banks lifestyle kicks in at full volume. Your private dock and motorized boat lift put you on the water in minutes — Albemarle Sound, Roanoke Sound, the full network of Outer Banks waterways. Fish off the dock. Crab from the backyard. Launch a kayak or paddle board at sunrise. Come home to an outdoor shower and cold beverages on the deck while the canal mirrors the sunset back at you. This is not a description of a vacation — it's Tuesday. The open-concept kitchen anchors the main living level with hardwood floors, stainless appliances, beautiful cabinetry, and a peninsula that keeps the cook in the conversation while the canal view does the rest. The oversized two-car garage keeps the toys organized and the cars dry — a rare find in OBX coastal living. Colington Harbour delivers the full amenity package: gated 24/7 entry, marina, boat launch, three soundside beaches, saltwater pool, kiddie pool, dog park, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, playground, pavilion, and clubhouse. All of it for one of the lowest HOA fees on the Outer Banks. Five minutes to Kill Devil Hills beaches. Zero hassle. Completely vacant and ready to close. 234 Soundview Drive isn't a compromise — it's a two-for-one on the canal.
