Tucked into one of Duck’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this charming coastal cottage offers the opportunity to enjoy the Sanderling lifestyle in a location that’s hard to beat. Situated just one lot from the Currituck Sound and only a short distance to the community’s beach access, the home provides easy access to both sunrise walks along the Atlantic and peaceful evenings overlooking the sound. Sanderling is treasured for its quiet streets, uncrowded beaches, and exceptional community amenities, including a soundfront pool and racquet club. Just moments away are local favorites such as Paper Canoe, the Sanderling Resort & Spa, The Lifesaving Station, and Theodosia, while the shops, restaurants, live music, and waterfront boardwalk of downtown Duck are only a few miles away. Corolla is also just a scenic drive to the north. Lovingly maintained by the original owners and enjoyed exclusively as a second home, this property has not been used as a vacation rental, resulting in years of gentle use and attentive care. While some finishes reflect its original era, the home has been exceptionally well maintained and is ready to be enjoyed immediately. Sold fully furnished, it offers the perfect opportunity to begin making memories from day one while leaving room for a future owner to personalize and update the home over time. Offering approximately 1,800 square feet, the thoughtfully designed floor plan features four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, with each bedroom enjoying its own private bath for added comfort and privacy. The upper level is the heart of the home, where soaring vaulted ceilings, beautiful juniper tongue-and-groove walls, abundant natural light, a wood-burning fireplace, and an inviting sunroom create a warm, relaxed coastal atmosphere. The spacious kitchen flows easily into the living and dining areas, making it an ideal gathering place for family and friends. Expansive decks provide plenty of outdoor living space to enjoy the coastal breeze, while the ground level includes a covered carport, outdoor shower, dry entry, and laundry room. The home has seen numerous improvements over the years, reflecting the owners’ commitment to maintenance and care. Major updates include a new roof in 2024 and water heater in 2023, along with improvements to the kitchen, sunroom, exterior painting, appliances, chimney, and more. Whether you’re searching for a peaceful second home, a property with the potential to generate vacation rental income, or a cottage you can gradually make your own, this home offers an outstanding opportunity in one of Duck’s most desirable communities. With its exceptional location between the ocean and sound, solid maintenance history, and timeless coastal character, this is a property that can be enjoyed today while offering exciting possibilities for the future.
