Absolutely charming cottage, nestled in the live oaks of Southern Shores, just steps to the beach! The sellers built this home in 1982 and have lovingly maintained it ever since. It has never been a rental, only used by family and friends. The main level offers a welcoming open great room with an updated kitchen, one bedroom, an updated full bathroom and a convenient laundry room. Upstairs, two cozy bedrooms share a hall bath, providing plenty of space for family or guests. Outside, expansive decking offers ample room to relax and entertain, the kids will love playing in the trees, the outside shower is perfect for rinsing off after a long beach day and a shed complete with electricity conveniently stores all of your tools and beach gear. A deeded pathway to Dogwood Tr ensures you’re just a very short walk from a lifeguarded beach access. For those who love an active lifestyle, the nearby bike path extends from Southern Shores through Duck and all the way to Corolla – perfect for a morning jog or a bike ride to Duck for dinner! This home is truly a tucked away treasure.
