Property Description
Price includes vacant, adjacent lot. A five-minute walk from the beach, this one-of-a-kind property combines something increasingly difficult to find on Hatteras Island: space, privacy, character, and proximity to the ocean…all in one setting.
At its center is a 1955 Hatteras cottage that has been thoughtfully and meticulously reinvented over decades by its current owner. Rather than erase its history, the renovations have preserved the character of the original beach house while adding the craftsmanship, comfort and efficiency of a much newer home.
And this is much more than a house.
The property includes two adjoining approximately 10,000sf lots, creating an unusually expansive setting for central Avon. Both lots are lined with old-growth junipers, oak, and other mature trees and shrubs. Keep the adjacent lot open and enjoy the breathing room, with space for gardens and outdoor living — or build an entire new house next door and create a true two-home compound. The arrangement of neighboring properties further contributes to a level of privacy that is remarkably difficult to duplicate this close to the beach.
A standout feature is the approximately 600sf studio: a substantial, beautifully insulated flex space ready for an artist, craftsman, home office, surf-and-tackle room, gym — or any combination of all of them. Its expansive, flexible, open feeling can become whatever your Hatteras lifestyle calls for. 10 foot ceilings, real hardwood floors, spray-foam insulation maintains approximately 70° even during the hottest summer weather with only a small through-wall A/C unit. Durability was clearly part of the vision throughout both structures with top of the line materials, employing coastal building science construction methods for maximum durability and minimum maintenance.
Then there is the storage: four separate garage/storage spaces provide an almost unheard-of amount of room for vehicles, boats, boards, bikes, fishing gear, tools and everything else that comes with island living.
This isn't a cookie-cutter beach house. It's a Hatteras Island Ocean compound: part vintage cottage, part workspace, part retreat, and the product of decades spent making a special place even better.
Walk to the beach. Spread out. Make something. Store everything. And enjoy an unexpected sense of peace and seclusion right in the heart of Avon.
