With unobstructed panoramic views from the ocean to the sound, this coastal retreat overlooks miles of undeveloped National Park Service land, ensuring a sense of seclusion and unspoiled beauty that is becoming increasingly rare on Hatteras Island.

Spacious and Thoughtful Layout

Entering through the dry entry, you’ll find a ground-level storage closet—a perfect spot to stow beach gear for easy access before heading out for a day of adventure.

The first floor features three comfortable bedrooms:

  • A queen en suite with access to a screened porch, offering a serene space to enjoy the salty breeze.
  • A twin en suite—ideal for guests or family members.
  • A bunk room with two bunk sets, providing plenty of space for kids or additional guests.
  • A spacious den with a wet bar opens to the shaded deck, creating an inviting space to gather.
  • A hall bath rounds out this level for convenience.

One of the standout features of this home is the hot tub on the screened porch, the ultimate spot to unwind while soaking in the breathtaking soundside sunsets.

Upstairs, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area boasts a cozy fireplace and access to a sundeck where you can catch a glimpse of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse beacon at night. A spacious king en suite and a half bath complete this level.

Adventure Awaits Just Minutes Away

Beyond the home’s comforts, its prime location makes it easy to enjoy everything Avon has to offer. The beach is just a short walk away, or take your 4WD vehicle to the nearby access for a full day of fun in the sun. Watersports enthusiasts will love the proximity to the famous Canadian Hole launch site, known for its incredible conditions for kiteboarding and windsurfing.

As an added perk, the current owner has a membership providing access to the Kinnakeet Shores community pool, pickleball, and tennis courts, allowing you to take full advantage of the area’s recreational offerings.
