Tucked beneath a canopy of live oaks on a private 10,000 square foot lot, this classic Avon cottage offers the charm of old Hatteras along with several major improvements that make it an attractive option for investors, second home buyers, and anyone looking for an island getaway.

A Classic Cottage with Modern Improvements

This 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage has the character that buyers love when searching for an authentic Hatteras Island property. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming sunroom, comfortable living area, eat-in kitchen, and plenty of cottage charm throughout.

Recent updates include:

  • New 4-bedroom septic system (2021)
  • New roof (2018)
  • New hot water heater (2020)
  • Large attic space for additional storage

One of the most exciting features is the 4-bedroom septic system. While the home is currently configured as a 3-bedroom cottage, the upgraded septic creates future possibilities for expansion that many investors will appreciate.

Privacy and Outdoor Space Are Hard to Find

The mature live oaks surrounding the property create a surprising amount of privacy while providing shade during the warmer months. The oversized 10,000 square foot lot offers room for outdoor living, gardening, storage, or future improvements.

Properties with this much natural privacy are becoming increasingly difficult to find in the heart of Avon.

Location Matters for Rental Potential

When it comes to investment properties, location is everything.

This home is conveniently located near many of the attractions that make Avon one of the most popular villages on Hatteras Island. Owners and guests can easily bike or walk to:

  • Avon Pier
  • Beach access
  • Sound access
  • Restaurants and shopping
  • The Avon Medical Center
  • ORV Ramp 38
  • Canadian Hole

Visitors love Avon because it offers some of the best fishing, kiteboarding, windsurfing, winging, and beach driving opportunities on the Outer Banks.

Prime Location, Endless Opportunities

Many buyers searching for Outer Banks investment property focus only on larger vacation rental homes. However, smaller cottages can provide unique opportunities.

A property like this may appeal to buyers looking for:

  • A second home with future expansion potential
  • A long-term rental property
  • A seasonal getaway
  • An affordable entry point into the Hatteras Island real estate market
  • A property to renovate and personalize over time

The combination of location, lot size, privacy, and the upgraded 4-bedroom septic system creates flexibility that is often difficult to find at this price point.

If you’ve been dreaming of owning a piece of Hatteras Island, this classic Avon cottage deserves a closer look.
