A sense of refined coastal living defines this elegant 4-bed, 2-bath semi-oceanfront retreat at 1214 S Virginia Dare Trail, where ocean views, salt-air breezes, and a rare sense of privacy come together just steps from two beach access points. Only four homes share this quiet block, creating a peaceful enclave that feels tucked away yet remains close to beloved local favorites like Food Dudes Kitchen, Bonzer Shack, and Dare Devil’s Pizza. The home’s elevated second-row position offers beautiful views of the Atlantic while benefiting from the security and desirability of an X flood zone. Inside, sunlight fills the open upstairs floor plan, where the coastal-chic kitchen features tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, barstool seating perfect for breakfast or a quick lunch, and a dedicated pantry for effortless organization. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly together, creating a bright, inviting space ideal for gathering. Laundry is conveniently located on the main bedroom level, adding ease to everyday living. Remote-control ceiling fans in every room enhance comfort, while ocean breezes drift across the decks, reinforcing the home’s relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The ground level offers exceptional functionality with a double carport, a private hot tub area, and an attached storage shed, creating a thoughtful blend of convenience and coastal practicality. Good neighbors and a quiet setting further elevate the lifestyle this home provides. In recent years, the property has undergone a comprehensive transformation that enhances both style and longevity. The exterior has been renewed with new cedar siding, new windows, new decking and railings, and a new front door. A new roof, new rain gutters, and Velux skylights with remote-control sun shades improve durability and natural light. Inside, the home has been refreshed with new luxury vinyl plank flooring upstairs, new carpet downstairs, and fully updated bathrooms with new flooring, vanities, toilets, and hardware. The HVAC system has been serviced with refrigerant replacement, a whole-house surge protector has been added, and the home has been updated with new beds and kitchen appliances as needed. Every improvement contributes to a sense of longevity, comfort, and ease—creating a semi-oceanfront property that stands out for its location, its privacy, and its complete, modernized condition. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, a second-home escape, or a high-performing investment property, this coastal retreat offers a rare combination of luxury, lifestyle, and long-term value.
