This Whalehead semi-oceanfront vacation home boasts a location just steps from the beach access, ocean views, 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, multiple decks, and a private pool and hot tub. The home features natural wood accents, cathedral ceilings and lots of natural light to create a warm and inviting beach getaway. The upper-level features two guest rooms (one with ocean views and a private oceanside deck), a full hall bath, and the first of two family gathering spots. The casual, cozy den with ocean views has a wet bar with built-in cabinetry and bookshelves, a game table, and access to the sun deck- the perfect spot to enjoy an ocean sunrise or relax and gaze at the Atlantic. The den also affords a dramatic overlook to the mid-level main family room below. The mid-level is comprised of an ensuite bedroom with private bath and deck access, another guest room, a full hall bath, and the main living areas. The soaring ceiling of the family room is complimented by a wall of windows to the east revealing two stories of Carolina blue sky. A ceiling to floor shiplap accent wall frames the wood fireplace creating an impressive focal point in this room. The adjacent dining area has access to the spacious outside deck which offers both shade and sun, as well as additional dining areas and the hot tub. It’s a large space perfect for entertaining, sunbathing, or relaxing. Back inside, the kitchen features an island with additional counter space and prep sink, and breakfast bar seating. There is also a handy pantry. The ground level of this vacation home features the laundry area and dry entry from the carport. A boardwalk leads from the carport to the double outside showers- no sandy feet! A large grassy backyard that many guests use to play soccer and other games is a welcome bonus. Just beyond is the 13x32’ private pool which is fully enclosed with a shaded cabana at one end and plenty of poolside decking. Buyers will appreciate “Severe Clear” for its ocean views, comfortable layout, and proximity to the beach. This property is also located in an X flood zone and close to all the restaurants, shopping, and attractions of Corolla.
