There is a certain magic in a home that feels ultra polished, and yet relaxed. This 2018 custom-built home in Old Nags Head Cove has that same effortless contrast: beautifully finished and undeniably stylish, yet warm, inviting, and ready to be lived in. It is the kind of place where… Read More you can appreciate the details without feeling like you have to tiptoe around them. With almost 2,000 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the home strikes that elusive balance between sophisticated and comfortable. Fresh, contemporary interiors invite you to kick off your shoes and stay awhile. LVT flooring carries throughout, while an electric fireplace adds just the right touch of ambiance to the living area. And then there is the kitchen. Rather than simply being another pretty backdrop, this one is ready to work for you. Custom cabinetry provides abundant storage, quartz countertops, and subway tile backsplash bring a refined finish, and the oversized island invites everything from casual lunches to glasses of wine and conversations that somehow last well past dinner. Upscale, stainless appliances and coffee/wine bar with wine cooler complete the space, making it equally suited to everyday life and entertaining. Beyond the main living areas, the home keeps revealing thoughtful little surprises. A convenient half bath is tucked just off the kitchen, while a laundry closet keeps everyday necessities neatly tucked away. Large closets for additional storage throughout mean there is actually a place for the things that tend to accumulate in a beach house. Also on the main level, the primary en-suite offers a comfortable retreat. The walk-in closet provides plenty of room to get ready, while dual vanities and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower bring a touch of everyday luxury. Upstairs, two generous guest bedrooms share a full bath with a tub and shower, providing inviting spaces for overnight guests. And they will definitely want to stay! Outside, the story gets even better. A covered upper-level deck, accessible from the kitchen with ample seating and a cozy fire pit table. It creates an inviting setting for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or an evening spent doing absolutely nothing, which may be exactly what a beach house is supposed to encourage. Stairs from the deck lead to the backyard and space below, and the deck overlooks the spacious and tranquil fenced yard, complete with fire pit, seating areas, and surrounding trees for privacy. The expansive under-house area offers impressive storage along with potential for even more outdoor living space, perhaps a screened porch or another spot designed for lingering. An outdoor shower makes returning from the beach easy, while a six-person hot tub and nearby hammock add more reasons to spend the evening outside. The fenced backyard offers room to relax and entertain, with an irrigation system helping keep everything looking its best. The practical details are just as well considered. A one-car garage provides additional storage with built ins, workbench, and convenient entry into a smaller, flexible room that could serve as a hobby space, office, or additional storage. A whole-house water filtration system adds everyday convenience. The upstairs HVAC system was replaced in 2025, and a new Whirlpool French-door refrigerator was added that same year. Blackout shades were installed in the third bedroom currently used as the office/yoga studio. Located in Old Nags Head Cove with convenient access to the beach, sound access, restaurants, shopping and the many things that make the Outer Banks special, this is a home that knows how to make an entrance, but is even better once you get comfortable. Beautiful enough to catch your eye, comfortable enough to keep you there, and thoughtfully designed enough to make you wonder why every home isn't this easy to love. Ideal for year round or second home/rental! Be sure to view the 3D virtual tour: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=dLrTNyVRbvV Read Less
