This ocean-side cottage is a perfect blend of both character and personality. Simple, yet charming elements meld together to create a distinct rustic vibe and "feel." Natural light pouring through the massive (7'x7') skylight accentuates exposed wood beams and welcomes you through the foyer to the open design living and dining area. The wood-burning stove, just installed this year, anchors the open flow and provides a fantastic focal point while also having functionality. Cathedral ceilings throughout the interior living areas create a sense of openness and space and many extras add to the beachy, yet rustic atmosphere of this Ocean Sands home. Skylights at both bathroom ceilings provide more natural light. A crow's nest perched on the north side is the perfect spot for evening breezes or morning coffee. Multiple closed-in storage areas throughout the underside of the home provide tons of storage and a laundry area. In true OBX fashion, the outdoor shower and fish cleaning station under the south exterior deck speak to the outdoor lifestyle enjoyed by so many. Interior living space is 13 feet above level ground on pilings, with the lot itself being amongst one of the highest elevations in the cul-de-sac. Less than 300 yards from the home, a sparkling lake invites leisure activities such as fishing or kayaking. The property comes with a large amount of wood (for wood stove) if the buyer would like.
