Beautiful Soundside Retreat with Exceptional Views, Modern Comforts & Premier Outdoor Living. Lots of recent improvements, including an ensuite addition on the first level of the home! This gorgeous coastal home sits just one lot from the sound, offering sweeping water views and unforgettable sunsets right from the great room and front deck. Built in 2016, the home still feels brand-new, with a bright, open-concept layout that's tailor-made for today's lifestyle. Step inside and you're welcomed by a stunning great room--vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a chef-inspired kitchen complete with a walk-in pantry, five-burner gas cooktop, wall oven, and an oversized farmhouse sink. Both the front and back decks extend the living space outdoors. The front deck captures postcard-worthy sound views, while the back deck overlooks a generous, beautifully landscaped yard featuring a firepit and private pool. A bonus ships watch offers an elevated perch with even more dramatic views of the sound--perfect for reading, relaxing, or watching the sky change color at dusk. The mid-level hosts an impressive primary suite with his-and-her sinks, a custom tile shower, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional guest suites share a spacious hall bath, and all bedrooms enjoy direct access to the decks. A well-appointed laundry room with excellent storage completes this level. The ground floor is designed for versatility, featuring an ideal home gym that can also serve as a second garage, an additional garage, a welcoming family room that opens directly to the pool area, and a newly added ensuite completed within the past year. Sitting high on a dune, the property takes full advantage of its elevation with exceptional views and lush, irrigated landscaping. And with a central Kitty Hawk location, you're only minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and beach access. Bay Drive's popular multi-use path is nearby as well, offering miles of paved trails for walking, biking, and enjoying the beauty of the soundside. This home blends modern construction, classic coastal charm, and a lifestyle that only the Kitty Hawk soundside can offer--truly a rare opportunity.
