116 Snipe Court Lot 30, Duck

Perched among the soaring dunes of Duck’s exclusive Osprey community, this exceptional oceanside home enjoys one of the highest elevations in the area, with sweeping ocean and sound views, precious privacy, and unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. Surrounded by rolling coastal terrain and bordering the 176-acre Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility, the setting is both expansive and rare on the Outer Banks. Designed with a reverse floor plan to maximize light and views, the home offers five bedrooms, four full baths, and a powder room. The top level features a dramatic great room, vaulted ceilings with refinished solid oak floors (2023), an open living, dining, and kitchen area, large picture windows, and multiple sun decks that capture the breezes and sound of the surf. A built-in entertainment center with gas log fireplace, mirrored wet bar with glass shelving, and bead board accents adds warmth and character. Also on this level is a spacious primary suite with private deck access, a jetted tub, separate shower, and generous closet space. The mid level includes a cozy den with deck access and hot tub, along with three well-sized bedrooms, including an ensuite with covered deck access. Most bedrooms open directly to decks, extending the living space outdoors. On the ground level, a bright foyer welcomes guests to a game room with billiards, foosball, darts, fitness equipment, and a full-size refrigerator. A fifth bedroom, full bath, and a versatile flex room, or optional office complete the level. Recent 2023 improvements include quartz countertops, new cabinet doors, subway tile backsplash in the kitchen, new LVP flooring on the ground level, a new roof with CertainTeed Landmark Pro architectural shingles, and a lower-level HVAC system. Quality construction features include cedar shake siding, Andersen casement windows and sliders, extra-wide roof overhangs, and exterior stairs to access 2nd & 3rd levels. The seller is also offering a $20,000 exterior painting allowance, giving the next owner the opportunity to choose their preferred color palette. Outside, the private swimming pool is a standout amenity and a rare offering in Osprey, with southern and western exposure, excellent privacy, and plenty of space for lounging and grilling. Additional features include a carport with dry entry, outside shower, fish cleaning station, enclosed storage for beach gear and bikes, and landscaped grounds with illuminated stair access to the street. Located just north of Duck Village, the home is close to shops, dining, soundside boardwalks, bike paths, and the Town of Duck’s popular events. Osprey’s private beach access is just a short stroll away. Lightly used as a summer rental by the current owner, the property offers strong income potential while remaining equally well suited as a primary residence or second home. This is a rare opportunity to own a highly elevated Duck retreat where views, privacy, and coastal lifestyle come together beautifully. *Listing provided courtesy of the MLS.
