A classic Hatteras Island beach house, incredible Atlantic views and a freshly renourished beach make this Buxton oceanfront property an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to invest on the Outer Banks.

There is something special about an old school Hatteras Island beach house, and this 4 bedroom, 2 bath oceanfront home in Buxton has plenty of that classic coastal personality. Add in a fantastic oceanfront location, a huge deck and a beach that has just been renourished, and you have a property that deserves a closer look.

For buyers searching for Buxton oceanfront real estate, a Hatteras Island vacation home or an Outer Banks investment property, this one combines location, character and the beach lifestyle people come to the OBX to enjoy.

A Freshly Renourished Buxton Beach

Talk about timing! The beach in front of this home has recently been renourished and looks absolutely amazing.

Step outside and the Atlantic Ocean is right there. Whether your perfect Hatteras Island morning starts with coffee and a sunrise or your perfect afternoon involves nothing more than a beach chair, a good book and your toes in the sand, this location makes it easy.

For investors considering oceanfront property on Hatteras Island, the beach and oceanfront setting are naturally important parts of evaluating a property’s appeal to vacationers and future buyers.

Big Ocean Views From The Top Level

Head upstairs and you will quickly see why the oceanfront location is the star of the show. The spacious top level living area takes advantage of those big Atlantic views and opens to a huge oceanfront deck.

This is the kind of deck made for sunrise coffee, dolphin watching, salty breezes and long afternoons watching the waves roll in. It also gives a future owner that indoor and outdoor connection that makes an Outer Banks beach house feel like a beach house.

Classic Hatteras Island Character

This is not a cookie cutter beach house, and that is part of the fun!

The unique A frame inspired architecture, warm wood walls and laid back floor plan give the home the nostalgic personality of the Hatteras Island cottages so many people remember. With 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, there is room for family and friends, while updated bathrooms with tiled walk in showers and glass surrounds add a more modern touch.

It is a great combination of old school Buxton charm and the comforts buyers want today.

Why Investors Look At Buxton Real Estate

Buxton has long been one of the most recognizable villages on Hatteras Island. It is home to the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and is surrounded by the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Surfing, fishing and beach days are a big part of life here, but Buxton also has the everyday conveniences that make owning a second home or vacation property easier. There is a locally owned grocery store, fish market, surf and beach shops, art galleries, a historic bookstore and a great collection of restaurants, pizza places, bakeries and other local favorites.

That combination of oceanfront location, Hatteras Island character and proximity to Buxton attractions is worth considering for buyers comparing Outer Banks investment properties.

If you have been searching for a Buxton oceanfront home for sale, this one offers something that is getting harder to find. Classic Hatteras Island character, incredible ocean views, a huge oceanfront deck and a beautiful freshly renourished beach are all wrapped up in one fun beach house.

Whether you are considering it as an investment property, second home or your own Hatteras Island getaway, we would love to show you around and help you look at the numbers.
