122 Wampum Drive Lot #30, Duck

Perched high on a hill in a highly coveted X flood zone (requiring no lender-mandated flood insurance), this classic Outer Banks cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of paradise at an exceptional price. Located in the very heart of Duck, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home boasts unparalleled walkability to the village’s premier dining, shopping, and iconic soundfront boardwalk, all while sitting approximately 300 yards directly back from the beach. The thoughtful two-level layout maximizes comfort and privacy. The first level features three bedrooms, a full bath, a cozy secondary sitting area, and seamless access to spacious decking. Upstairs, the bright top-level great room welcomes you with high ceilings and an open-concept kitchen equipped with sleek granite countertops and newer appliances. A fourth bedroom and full bath complete this level, which opens to expansive wrap-around decks on three sides, showcasing great distant views of the ocean and catching refreshing coastal breezes. The ground-level outdoor oasis is designed for ultimate relaxation, featuring a private pool, a bubbling hot tub, a classic OBX outdoor shower, covered parking, and a convenient storage area with laundry facilities. Lovingly maintained over the years, the owners have meticulously updated the property with newer HVAC units, water heaters, decks, furnishings, appliances, and select windows and doors. This turnkey care has yielded incredible financial results: the home has been booked nearly solid from March to early December for the last three years, generating nearly $60,000 in gross owner income backed by a loyal base of significant repeat renters. For absolute buyer peace of mind, a full list of improvements and a pre-listing home inspection are available upon request. *Listing provided courtesy of the MLS.
