Property Description
A five-minute walk from the beach, this one-of-a-kind property combines something increasingly difficult to find on Hatteras Island: privacy, character, versatility 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.
Set on an approximately 10,000sf lot lined with old-growth junipers, oak and other mature trees and shrubs, the property enjoys an unexpected sense of privacy for its central Avon location.
The adjoining approximately 10,000sf vacant lot is also available for separate purchase, creating a rare opportunity for a buyer who wants additional space, privacy or the potential to expand the property into a true two-lot compound. Ask for details regarding the adjacent parcel.
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 them. Its expansive, flexible, open feel can become whatever your Hatteras lifestyle calls for. Ten-foot ceilings, real hardwood floors and spray-foam insulation help it maintain approximately 70° even during the hottest summer weather with only a small through-wall A/C unit, according to the owner.
Durability was clearly part of the vision throughout both structures, with quality materials and coastal building-science methods employed with an eye toward 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, 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-side compound: part vintage cottage, part workspace, part retreat, and the product of decades spent making a special place even better.
Walk to the beach. Make something. Store everything. And enjoy an unexpected sense of peace and seclusion right in the heart of Avon.
