    What's special

    Welcome to 852 Lighthouse, a beautifully maintained semi-oceanfront retreat in Corolla’s coveted Whalehead community — known for its expansive lots and rare privacy for larger residences. Ideally positioned just steps from beach access, this spacious 8-bedroom, 6.5-bath home blends comfort, functionality, and relaxed coastal elegance. The top level features a bright, open-concept living area where the living room, dining space, and kitchen flow seamlessly together, filled with natural light and ocean views. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers a countertop cooktop, stacked ovens, dual dishwashers, and abundant prep space — perfect for entertaining. The adjoining dining area creates a warm setting perfect for large gatherings. The primary suite on this level serves as a private escape, complete with a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, a spacious walk-in closet, and serene ocean views. Two expansive decks — one east-facing for sunrise and one west-facing for sunset — extend the living space outdoors, with exterior stairs leading directly to the pool area and a convenient half bath. The second level offers four well-appointed bedrooms, including one en suite, along with two additional full baths. A secondary living area provides a cozy space for movie nights or quiet relaxation, and an additional deck invites you to enjoy the coastal breeze. A charming half-level sitting nook adds flexibility — ideal for reading, meditation, or a peaceful retreat. On the ground floor, a spacious game room with ample seating and a convenient kitchenette anchors the space. Three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a laundry room with storage make this level ideal for extended families, guest groups, or multigenerational stays. Storage is thoughtfully included throughout the home for ease and organization. Outdoors, the property truly shines. The expansive lot allows for exceptional amenities, including a private pool, hot tub, and a large backyard with a sand volleyball court. An outdoor shower simplifies beach days, and the nearby direct beach access keeps the ocean close at hand. Whether you’re seeking a strong rental investment, a refined coastal getaway, or a year-round family retreat, 852 Lighthouse offers outstanding value in one of the Outer Banks’ most desirable communities — a turnkey home ready to enjoy from day one.
