Welcome to easy Outer Banks living in the highly sought-after Corolla Light community! Exterior siding, all decks and stairs, most windows have been replaced! This beautifully maintained 5-bedroom, 3-bath home has been thoughtfully and extensively updated, making it truly turnkey for the next owner. Whether you are looking for a second home, vacation retreat, or investment property, the hard work has already been done. The list of improvements is impressive.

Inside, the spacious top level features a warm, inviting great room with vaulted ceilings and ample space for everyone to gather. The renovated kitchen features granite countertops, oak cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and an adjoining dining area. Step outside to the screened porch or expansive decks and enjoy the coastal setting. A generous primary ensuite is also located on this level, while a cozy loft above the great room provides additional living space. The mid-level offers four additional bedrooms, two renovated full bathrooms, a laundry area, and access to the spacious deck and hot tub.
