North Carolina, Dare County, Kitty Hawk, USA

Theres something very Outer Banks about a beach house at the end of a gravel road, where you can see the ocean from the deck and be barefoot on the sand a few minutes later.Welcome to 3403 Briggs Street.Built in 2007 and never used as a rental, this Kitty Hawk beach house has been lovingly maintained by its current owners as exactly that: a home. It feels cared for the moment you arrive, from the newer decks and HVAC installed in 2023 to the exceptionally clean, turnkey interior. Bring the beach chairs, stock the fridge, and start enjoying it.Upstairs, cathedral ceilings and an open floor plan give the main living space that easy, uncomplicated feel a beach house should have. Wood floors run throughout the main living areas, while the kitchen opens directly into the conversation with a bar made for coffee in the morning, cocktails after the beach, and everyone inevitably gathering in the same place.The ocean is part of the view here, even when youre inside. From the main living area and kitchen, you can look out toward the Atlantic, then step onto the upper deck to take in the full Outer Banks show: sunrise over the ocean in the morning and sunset over the sound in the evening. And when youre ready for the beach, grab a towel and go. No packing up the car. No making a whole production out of it. Just one of the perks of having the ocean this close.The home offers three bedrooms and three full baths, including a primary ensuite, along with flexible spaces that give you options beyond the traditional floor plan. The home is currently arranged with four sleeping rooms; however, the septic system permits the property for three-bedroom use only. One of the upstairs rooms would make a fantastic office, den, or creative space instead. Downstairs, the flex room and full bath added in 2020 create another place to spread out, watch a game, set up a movie room, or give everyone somewhere to land after a long day outside.And when you want to venture beyond the end of Briggs Street, youre close to some longtime local favorites. Josephines Sicilian Kitchen and TRiO Restaurant & Market are right around the corner, with Moms Sweet Shop and Ashleys Espresso Parlour nearby. Beach in the morning, coffee down the road, dinner around the corner. Thats a pretty good Kitty Hawk routine.This isnt a beach house that has spent years being turned over from one vacation to the next. It has been someones place by the ocean. Maintained, enjoyed, and cared for.Now its ready for its next chapter.
