2210 Memorial Avenue Lot 6, Nags Head

Sometimes simple really is better. This classic Outer Banks beach cottage puts you just a short walk from the sand in the heart of Nags Head, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and an easygoing layout that's all about spending less time maintaining a house and more time enjoying where you live. Inside, the open living, dining and kitchen area creates a comfortable gathering space, while the home's classic beach-box design keeps everything refreshingly uncomplicated. Lightly used and not a rental, this has been a well-loved second home that's ready for its next chapter. But the real star here may be the location. The Albatross Street beach access is just about a four-minute walk away, with a lifeguarded, wide stretch of beach that feels pleasantly removed from the busier hotel areas. Grab your chair and head over for a morning by the ocean, an evening walk, or even Fourth of July fireworks from the beach. Prefer two wheels? This is the kind of location where the bike can replace the car. Ride to nearby restaurants, shops and more, or simply cruise around the neighborhood. Tucked along a newly paved street in an area with a more residential feel and fewer weekly rentals nearby, it's surprisingly peaceful for such a central Nags Head location. Classic OBX. Easy to maintain. Walk to the beach. Bike just about everywhere. Sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for. *Listing provided courtesy of the MLS.
