Coastal convenience meets low-maintenance living in the heart of Kitty Hawk! Ideally located less than half a mile from the beach, this beautifully updated two-story condo in the highly sought-after Sandpiper Cay community offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, second home, or investment property, this turnkey condo places you just minutes from the ocean, local restaurants, shopping, and entertainment.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan features an open-concept main level with a spacious living area, dining space, updated kitchen, powder room, laundry area, and convenient under-stair storage. Upstairs, both bedrooms offer the privacy of their own en-suite bathrooms, making the layout ideal for owners and guests alike. The primary suite includes a beautifully renovated custom tiled shower, while the second bedroom’s bath offers a tub and shower combination. A linen closet in the hallway provides additional storage, and the second bedroom also enjoys access to a private balcony.
The updated kitchen showcases quartz countertops and tile backsplash (2019), pantry storage, and a newer stainless refrigerator and dishwasher (2020). Additional improvements include luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level with new carpet on the stairs (2018), a new water heater (Summer 2026), removal of popcorn ceilings with fresh interior paint, replacement of the kitchen window and second bedroom sliding door, and beautifully updated bathrooms completed in 2023. The heat pump and air handler are approximately 12 years old.
Sandpiper Cay offers one of the best amenity packages on the Outer Banks, including a large outdoor community pool, clubhouse, tennis courts with pickleball lines, playground, picnic and grilling areas, and a community garden. The new Town of Kitty Hawk Nature Trail can be accessed right from Sandpiper Cay and offers a dog, bike, and horse-friendly path through the maritime forest.
The comprehensive monthly HOA includes exterior building maintenance, almost all of your insurance expense, sewer/septic, trash, and use of community amenities including outdoor pool, tennis, pickleball, green space and even a community garden where you can claim a spot all for yourself. Enjoy ocean views as you drive in and out of the community, with ample beach accesses less than half a mile away with free parking! Some furnishings negotiable with acceptable contract.
