1332 Ballast Point Drive, Manteo

1332 Ballast Point Villa is an exceptional top-floor soundfront residence located in the gated, waterfront community of Pirates Cove where its coastal setting affords expansive, unobstructed sound views. This is waterfront living at its most sophisticated! Inside, the residence blends refined design with effortless coastal living. Rich walnut flooring, custom details, and carefully selected materials create a warm, polished atmosphere throughout. The expansive living area centers around a striking travertine fireplace wall and 42-inch gas fireplace, while walls of glass capture the ever-changing waterfront beyond. The kitchen pairs custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a travertine backsplash with a premium appliance package, including a Thermador gas range and double ovens. Originally designed as a four-bedroom residence, the fourth bedroom has been transformed into an elegant private study with custom built-ins, an exotic wood desk, and an private powder room. The primary suite enjoys exceptional sound views, an elegant bath and direct access to the covered deck. Two additional bedrooms share a spacious bath. And then there is the view… Broad expanses of glass and double doors to the covered deck open the living spaces to spectacular sunrises, passing boats, marina activity, and shimmering evening lights across the sound. From morning coffee to sunset over the water, the setting provides a front-row seat to the rhythm of waterfront life. Pirates Cove offers a resort-like collection of amenities, including multiple pools, clubhouse, fitness center, lighted tennis courts, playgrounds, volleyball and basketball courts, and miles of lighted waterfront docks. Bluewater Bar & Grill and Mimi’s Tiki Bar are just steps away at the marina.
