Agent Comments
Just steps from the beach access and offering ocean views, this beautifully renovated coastal retreat presents a rare combination of lifestyle flexibility, quality craftsmanship, and outstanding income potential. Lovingly maintained by the same family since it was originally built and passed down through generations without ever changing ownership, the home underwent an extensive studs-up renovation and addition in 2020, thoughtfully rebuilt with modern systems, high-end finishes, and timeless coastal design. The bright, open-concept main living level is filled with natural light and features three spacious bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with a private bath, double vanities, walk-in closet, and the added convenience of an adjoining laundry area. Unusually generous closet space throughout the home provides storage rarely found in beach properties. The beautifully appointed kitchen is designed for entertaining with quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, custom soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, bar seating, and abundant prep space, all flowing seamlessly into the living area and front deck. The lower level offers exceptional versatility with a private-entry studio featuring a kitchenette, full bath, and convenient all-in-one washer/dryer. Successfully operated as a Superhost Airbnb for the past five years, the studio has consistently generated approximately $25,000 annually, while the upper level has remained owner-occupied and has never been rented. An extended-stay reservation is currently in place through September 5, making this a truly turnkey investment opportunity. Whether used for short-term rentals, visiting family, a private office, or guest accommodations, this flexible space adds tremendous long-term value.
Additional upgrades include luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, Hardiboard siding, updated windows and roofing, a dual-zoned security system, a whole-house solar-powered backup generator, abundant storage, an additional rear parking pad, and reinforced decking engineered to support a future hot tub. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Relax beneath the covered outdoor entertaining area, complete with café lighting and refreshing ocean breezes, or climb to the rooftop deck to enjoy panoramic ocean views and unforgettable sunrises that remind you daily why owning an Outer Banks beach home is so special. Offered fully furnished, this exceptional property is move-in ready and perfectly suited as a primary residence, second home, or income-producing investment. With direct beach access just steps away, ocean views, a comprehensive 2020 studs-up renovation, flexible living arrangements, and proven rental income, 200 E. Arch Street offers the complete Outer Banks lifestyle that today's buyers have been searching for. Total square footage is 1725 (upstairs is 1272, and downstairs is 453).
