    What's special

    Pricing allows flexibility for updates, remodeling, furnishings, or improvements that help make the home truly your own. Nestled in the peaceful Deer Horn Dunes community of Emerald Isle, this classic 4-bedroom, 2-bath coastal cottage has been lovingly cared for by its current owners and filled with laughter, beach days, and gatherings with family and friends. Now, it's ready for its next chapter--and its next family to continue the story. Conveniently located just a short distance from a public beach access, you'll love the ease of coastal living where morning walks to the ocean and sunset beach strolls can become part of your daily routine. After long days enjoying the sand and surf, rinse off in the outdoor shower and settle into the relaxed pace that makes island life so special. Inside, the home features a functional split-bedroom floorplan designed for both comfort and privacy, centered around an open main living area that invites everyone to gather together after a day at the beach. The layout offers the ideal balance of shared spaces and quiet retreats, making it well suited for family getaways, hosting guests, or creating the perfect vacation rental opportunity. Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully maintained and cared for, providing solid bones and a welcoming coastal charm. At the same time, it presents a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to bring their vision to life. If you've been searching for a beach home where you can add your own style, updates, and personal touches, this property offers the perfect blank canvas to create the coastal retreat you've always imagined. Adding even more value and peace of mind, the property is located outside of the flood zone--an increasingly desirable feature for coastal buyers. Whether you're looking for a family beach getaway, a second home along the Crystal Coast, or an investment opportunity in one of the most beloved beach towns in North Carolina, this Deer Horn Dunes home offers location, character, and the opportunity to create a lifetime of memories in beautiful Emerald Isle.
