Charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage in Kill Devil Hills! This home is ideal as a starter property, long-term rental, or affordable beach getaway, situated just two blocks from the sound and the multi-use path on Bay Drive. The home has mostly served as an owner-occupied residence, with the last year as a long-term rental, and has been well-maintained by both the owner and tenants. The property, set on an X flood zone lot buffered by mature trees, offers over 955 square feet of comfortable living space on the main level. The open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling includes a spacious family room, dining area, and an open kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, all surrounded by ship lap walls painted in neutral gray with white trim. The bright, airy main living area is complemented by wood-tone laminate flooring. A sun porch off the family room provides a perfect spot for relaxing, entertaining, or dining al fresco. The space for a full-size washer and dryer is conveniently tucked behind bi-fold doors off the kitchen. Down the hall, the primary bedroom includes a private bathroom and linen closet, along with a second bedroom and a full hall bath. On the ground level, there is ample enclosed storage, a workshop, and a carport with an outdoor shower equipped with hot and cold water. The large, shady backyard is fenced, making it ready for pets. The multi-use path’s proximity makes dog-walking, jogging, or biking easy, with the popular Bay Drive multi-use path along the picturesque sound just a few blocks away. Shopping, restaurants, and other conveniences are also nearby in this centrally located Croatan Shores neighborhood. This is a great opportunity to own a modest home with a fenced yard, close to the sound, and be in the heart of KDH. The home is now vacant and is a blank canvas for the next owner. It’s easy to show!
