Flexibility and Recent Upgrades at 48538 NC 12 Highway, Buxton
This classic 3 bedroom, 2 bath Buxton home combines the character of an older island cottage with several important improvements already completed.
From the warm wood interiors to the updated kitchen, spacious deck, additional storage, and convenient location, there is a lot here for a buyer to work with. Investors will also appreciate that the home has a four bedroom septic system that was installed in 2019.
Classic Hatteras Island Character
One of our favorite things about this home is that it still feels like Buxton. Beautiful wood ceilings and wood paneling throughout much of the interior give it the warm, relaxed character that makes older Hatteras Island homes so appealing.
The spacious living area provides plenty of room for everyone to gather, whether the property is used as a primary residence, beach getaway, or investment property.
An Updated Kitchen with Plenty of Space
The kitchen has been updated while still fitting nicely with the character of the home. White cabinetry keeps the space light and bright, while generous counter space, tile backsplash, stainless steel dishwasher, and plenty of storage make the kitchen practical for everyday living.
With three bedrooms and two full baths, the home already offers a comfortable floor plan. There is also a dedicated laundry area with additional built in storage.
Four Bedroom Septic Installed in 2019
Here is something that should catch the attention of buyers looking at Hatteras Island real estate as an investment. Although the home currently has three bedrooms, the property has a four bedroom septic system installed in 2019.
That additional septic capacity may provide future flexibility, subject of course to applicable permitting, zoning, building requirements, and approvals. For an investor considering future improvements to a property, it is an important feature to know about.
Big Ticket Improvements Already Completed
Outer Banks buyers know how important the major components of a home can be, and this property already has some significant improvements checked off the list.
A new FORTIFIED roof has been installed, along with new electrical service to the exterior of the home. Those are meaningful improvements whether you plan to use the property yourself or are evaluating it as an investment.
Outside, a large deck gives you additional space to enjoy the island, while the additional outbuildings provide useful storage for all the beach, fishing, and outdoor gear that seems to come with life on Hatteras Island.
A Buxton Location Close to Everything
Location is another big part of the appeal. Buxton puts you close to the beaches of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, fishing, beach access, restaurants, shopping, and many of the things people come to Hatteras Island to enjoy.
For an investor, that also means owning in one of the most recognizable villages on Hatteras Island, with access to the outdoor recreation and attractions that bring visitors back to the Outer Banks year after year.
