An *elevator connects… Read More the main living level* to the ground-floor pool and cabana, creating seamless indoor–outdoor flow, while soaring cathedral ceilings, custom built-ins, and premium finishes define the interior. Built with longevity in mind, the home features over 1,000 square feet of covered composite decking—offering effortless maintenance and durability in the coastal climate—along with carefully selected materials throughout that prioritize both performance and style.

Outdoor living is the centerpiece of the home, designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The heated saltwater concrete pool, complete with an electric heater, is surrounded by elegant travertine decking and enhanced by a custom stone waterfall feature that creates both visual impact and a resort-like ambiance. Natural landscaping is thoughtfully integrated into the pool area, offering a private, tranquil setting. An expansive cabana with wet bar invites all-day enjoyment, while the hot tub, gas grill, and enclosed outdoor shower complete the experience. Additional features include a gas water heater, spacious laundry room, oversized pantry and storage off the kitchen, and a finished, conditioned storage space on the ground level ideal for seasonal items. The garage connects directly to the elevator, and the property offers parking for up to five vehicles. Multiple covered porches and sun decks provide ideal vantage points for sunrise views and coastal breezes, while the large lot and mature perimeter vegetation create a sense of privacy rarely found this close to the ocean. Located between Duck and Kitty Hawk, Southern Shores offers both privacy and convenience, with two beach access points just a short walk away. Owners and guests enjoy access to the Southern Shores Civic Association amenities, including tennis courts, a soundfront park, marina, and dedicated beach parking.
