This is the oceanfront home you have been looking for. Well-built and spacious, it is a state of the art property in the northern banks's most lauded resort community. Built by Pete Hunter, this 5300 square foot beauty boasts seven bedrooms most of them suites. Inside are numerous gathering spaces - a first floor game room, a second floor sunroom with wet-bar & fireplace and, on the upper level, there is another cozy sunroom, a screened-in porch plus a sitting loft for wave watching. From the time you enter the front door and see the grand oak staircase, you will realize that this is not the typical beach house. Quality radiates from every detail. There are gleaming hardwood floors, an elevator, enclosed garage and a whole-house audio system. The gourmet kitchen has a huge center island, breakfast bar, icemaker, and designer cabinets. To handle large gatherings, there are double sinks, double dishwashers, double microwaves, two refrigerators and more. Beyond creature comforts, the house is solidly built. Hardiplank cement siding and vinyl railings provide superior appearance and are nearly maintenance-free. The windows are fitted with removable storm shutters that are easily attached for protection from the weather. Numerous decks provide views of the ocean and of the Currituck Lighthouse. A walkway leads from the house over the dune to the wide beaches of Corolla Light. The current owners have been meticulous about upkeep and have recently installed new HVAC systems and painted throughout. Because this house was used almost exclusively by the owner family with a limited rental schedule, it has stayed in pristine condition and has many decorative touches. Oceanfront homes of this quality and in this condition are rare. Investors take note: the rental potential for this home makes it a top financial performer: the in-season weeks rent for $10,800 and 25-plus weeks of yearly occupancy can be expected. At this price point, this home will be a dream come true for the discriminating buyer looking for a special vacation home or an investment.
