Property Description
"A Hidden Gem" lives up to its name. Tucked into the wooded oceanside community of Sea Crest Village in Southern Shores, this classic single-level coastal cottage offers five bedrooms, three full baths, and 1,488 square feet of relaxed beach-house living just a 5-minute walk to the ocean. Painted beadboard ceilings set the tone throughout, giving the home its signature cottage character from the moment you step inside. The open floor plan connects the family room, dining area, and kitchen in an easy, natural flow- anchored by a large center island with cooktop beneath a distinctive copper range hood, with additional seating that makes the kitchen a natural gathering spot for the whole group. Just off the dining area, a generous rear sundeck extends the living space outdoors, ideal for al fresco dining or unwinding after a day at the beach. Mature trees frame the spacious backyard, creating a private, shaded setting that feels a world away from the road. The floor plan places sleeping areas on opposite ends of the home, offering comfortable separation for families and guests. Two en-suite bedrooms — one with direct access to the back sundeck — are complemented by three additional guest bedrooms and a full hall bath. A Fortified roof and fully encapsulated crawlspace provide meaningful long-term protection and peace of mind. Southern Shores Civic Association membership is voluntary at $100 annually for rental properties ($70 non-rental) and provides access to private beach parking, a soundside marina and boat launch (+$30), tennis courts (+$25), and neighborhood parks. A multi-use path winds through the community and connects north toward Duck's soundside boardwalk, shops, and restaurants. Centrally positioned between Duck and Kitty Hawk, Southern Shores offers convenient access to dining, shopping, and local attractions while maintaining the quiet residential character the community is known for. Single-level living, five bedrooms, and a 5-minute walk to the beach — "A Hidden Gem" is a rare find in one of the Outer Banks' most desirable communities.
