The top floor offers three additional bedrooms and two full baths, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet, private bath, and its own covered deck where you can enjoy panoramic views of the marsh and surrounding landscape. Whether enjoying morning coffee, watching the changing colors of sunset, or simply listening to the sounds of nature, this private retreat captures the essence of coastal living. While the home itself is a wonderful residence, the true distinction of this property lies in the land and the possibilities it creates. Zoned Village Commercial (VC-2), the property offers flexibility for a variety of residential and commercial uses while preserving the character and charm that make Kitty Hawk Village so special. The acreage may offer opportunities for further subdivision, additional homesites, small-scale development, or other creative uses subject to local approvals. Horses are also permitted, opening the door to an equestrian lifestyle rarely available on the Outer Banks. Despite its peaceful and secluded feel, the location is remarkably convenient. Tucked away in the heart of Kitty Hawk Village, the property feels miles removed from the crowds, yet beaches, restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences are only minutes away.
