100 Sunset Ct. is the epitome of all things Coastal! The location is certainly coastal, as it’s located in the small waterfront community of the Peninsula in Manteo, NC. There’s 140ft. of deep-water bulkheaded canal available at your back door to dock your boat/boats/jet skis/ pontoon or kayaks! The bulkheaded walkway encircles the community and offers access to the navigable Shallowbag Bay channel connecting the Roanoke Sound and Pamlico Sound through the Oregon Inlet to the Atlantic Ocean. The home was designed by Michael York of The Coastal Cottage Co. Sitting atop a high lot, there are terrific views of the canal, the sound and marsh so that morning, noon and sunset time, you’re surrounded by brilliant blues of sky and water or cloud colors indicative of the boating weather for the next day. This home has immediate curb appeal from the driveway pavers to the cottage architecture. A beautiful custom front door and sidelights allow light into the welcoming foyer providing privacy and light to the mid-level where you’ll find Eddie Bauer engineered hardwood floors, coastal trim and details all round. In the hallway, there’s an elevator, closet and laundry with washer/ dryer and an extra freezer for your “catch of the day”.This functional space is neatly disguised by sliding barn door for easy access. There are 3 bedrooms on this level, all with balcony/deck access. There’s a primary bedroom on the north west with a generous closet and large, private bath. The double vanity with the glass vessel sinks is flanked on one end with a private water closet on one side and a large walk-in tiled shower with transom window, built in seating and shower heads on the other. A linen closet completes the picture. There are two other bedrooms on this level which are connected by a Jack and Jill bath with 2 separate/private vanities with vessel sinks, bench seating as well as separate closets for each. The linen closet holds everything you need for enjoying the large walk-in tiled shower with a transom window. The two bedrooms on the north side have canal views and the bedroom on the south looks out across the community to the sound beyond . Take the elevator up to an open concept top floor with vaulted ceilings and hand crafted beams. The spacious kitchen has room for more than one cook or separate prep areas with more cabinet spaces than you could ask for. The 48”gas cook top with pot filler, double electric oven, dishwasher, wine cooler are all connected by leathered granite countertop and has ample seating all round for those who like to watch the cook and get first dibs on the feast. The light fixtures in this area are made from Handcrafted California wine barrel rings. Gather around the gas fireplace with a live edged mantle central to the seating area and a generous separate dining area adjacent to the one of the best butler’s pantries you’ve seen in a while. There’s room for a slim extra fridge and it’s all accessed by a sliding barn door. Step out to an open west facing deck where you can see the sound and Jockey’s Ridge to the east or sunsets to the west. There’s also another bedroom on this level which is currently used as an office/sleeping area. The full bath with tile shower makes it a very comfortable, accessible spot. Take the elevator/stairs down to the ground level with luxury plank floors which is great when you’re coming into the house from a swim or grilling on the spacious pool deck. The large salt water pool is really the icing on the cake! It’s surrounded by a generous pool deck large enough for several lounge chairs and the beautiful jasmine covered trellis. Access to the canal is easy via 3 fence gates so you easily jump on the boat, come back for a swim and soak in the 7-person hot tub or grab a refreshing beverage for a game of pool. Coffered ceilings in shades of blue make this more than your average game room/den and wet bar area. ... Read more
