Looking for a simple yet elegant slice of OBX heaven? Here it is. Located in the desirable waterside community of Old Nags Head Cove, this inviting 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath beach cottage with sound views, screened porch, and ground level bonus space embraces a relaxed coastal lifestyle without sacrificing style or comfort. The classic “H” floor plan designates two bedrooms and a full bathroom at each end of the house, with the kitchen, dining area, and family room seamlessly integrated in the center. Attractive and durable porcelain plank floors run throughout the home, while the beamed tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings grace the heart of this stunning property. The attention to detail and pride of ownership are apparent in this lovely home. The spacious family room is comfortable and welcoming. An electric fireplace, perfect for chilly evenings, is the focal point between two sliding glass doors leading to the screened porch. The outdoor entertaining possibilities are many with this large screened-in area and the adjacent sun deck, which runs the entire length of the house and leads down to the ground level. Back inside, the family room space flows effortlessly into the gorgeous kitchen. Quartz counters and soft-close Shaker cabinetry are showcased by an Italian tile backsplash and under cabinet lighting. Stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and a central island with bar seating further enhance this sleek, fresh kitchen. The adjacent dining area boasts a stylish chandelier, invoking a sense of warmth and charm. All bedrooms are light and airy, reflecting the same chic white ship lap walls and ceilings. The south bedroom overlooks the backyard and can access the back deck via a glass sliding door. The full bathroom that separates this bedroom from the other south bedroom (facing the front deck), is completely remodeled and features a glass and tile shower. The north side of the home also has two bedrooms with a full bathroom in between. This completely remodeled bathroom has a tub/shower combination. There is a myriad of spaces both inside and out to utilize at this wonderful property. The current owner has created a back patio area running the length of the home, perfect for a hot tub, hammock, or shaded seating area. The front sundeck also runs the length of the home and is accented by wrought iron, giving it a unique, open look. The ground floor/garage has been converted into a bonus space used as an enormous rec room. This area has a refrigerator, wet bar, half bath, laundry, and a tremendous storage area (perfect for a workshop). Freshly painted and paneled, this bonus space can fit enough table games to keep the whole crew busy on a rainy day! The possibilities are endless for this space. Currently used as a vacation rental, “Mayhem’s Cove” would be well suited as a long-term rental or second home getaway. No flood insurance is required for this x flood zone property. Owners enjoy the ONHC community amenities of sound beach access, use of the clubhouse, boat ramp, pool, volleyball, and boat slips. This delightful, one-of-a-kind home offers proximity to pristine beaches, dining, and shopping. Don’t be the one who lets this opportunity get away.
