Canalfront Home With Potential

A Canalfront Opportunity in Brigands Bay 50248 Snug Harbor Dr

50248 Snug Harbor Dr Frisco

Tucked beneath the live oaks in one of Frisco’s favorite waterfront neighborhoods, this canalfront property offers a rare opportunity for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and bring a unique coastal home back to life. Located in Brigands Bay, a community loved for its quiet streets and easy access to the water, the home sits along a wooded canal that adds both privacy and a peaceful setting.

With 3,104 square feet of heated living space and an impressive 1,340 square feet of garage and utility area, there is plenty of room here to reimagine the property into something truly special. The home features soaring ceilings, expansive windows that bring in natural light, spacious living areas, and large decks overlooking the wooded canalfront surroundings. The architecture has that classic contemporary coastal feel that was popular on Hatteras Island, creating a layout full of character and possibility.

A Layout Full of Possibilities

Inside, the home offers generous living spaces with vaulted ceilings and walls of windows that make the interior feel bright and open. The multi level design creates separation between living and sleeping areas while still maintaining an open and airy feel throughout the home. Buyers with vision will immediately recognize the opportunity to modernize and refresh the space while keeping the home’s unique architectural features. One of the most standout features of the property is the oversized garage area. On Hatteras Island, where storage is often limited, this amount of enclosed space is a huge advantage. It is perfect for storing boats, kayaks, paddleboards, fishing gear, beach equipment, and everything needed to enjoy life on the water.

Canalfront Living

The wooded canalfront lot adds a quiet, natural backdrop to the home. While there is currently no dock in place and the condition of the bulkhead is unknown, the canal setting provides the potential for a wonderful waterfront lifestyle. Brigands Bay is known for its network of canals and peaceful atmosphere, making it a favorite neighborhood for those who enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

Residents love the ability to walk or bike through the neighborhood while enjoying the surrounding water views and coastal wildlife. The location also puts you close to some of the best outdoor experiences on Hatteras Island.

Close to Beaches, Sound, and Local Favorites

Just minutes away, Ramp 49 provides convenient beach access for driving on the sand, fishing, or simply spending the day by the ocean. The nearby Frisco Bathhouse offers lifeguarded beach access, showers, and parking, while Sandy Bay provides calm soundside waters perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding.

Frisco also offers a variety of local restaurants, shops, art galleries, and easy access to the ferry dock in Hatteras Village for trips over to Ocracoke Island. Whether you are heading out for fresh seafood, exploring the island’s history, or simply enjoying a sunset over the water, everything that makes Hatteras Island special is right nearby.

If you have been searching for an opportunity to create your own place on Hatteras Island, this may be the one worth exploring.
