The views are fantastic from inside the house and even better from the top floor deck. Relax in this peaceful, quiet and beautiful location. Enjoy coffee with ocean sunrises and wine with sound sunsets - all on the same deck! The Sellers have improved this house during their ownership including adding a huge private pool, two bedrooms and a full bath. Recent big-ticket items like a new roof (10/24), new siding (9/23), newly remodeled full bathroom (1/25), new carpet and interior painting (2/25) make it easy to just add your finishing touches to make it exactly to your liking! The original owner who built the property was an engineer and the structure is rock-solid as a result! The home was built using huge supporting wood beams that extend from the center of the house and out under the multi-level sun decks! A very unique design with an octagon center and wings that branch off of it for two large master bedrooms each with its own full bath ensuite. The center of the main level has two smaller bedrooms with a "Jack & Jill" bathroom. The reverse floorplan offers huge open top floor kitchen, half bath and gathering space taking full advantage of the views. The home's elevation is VERY high eliminating any storm water issues, but the lot is level at the top with a beautiful backyard with live oaks, a fun super-sized chess board, volleyball court and of course the huge pool connected to a pergola that is hook-up ready for a new hot tub! The two-car tandem garage is open on both ends allowing cars to pass through to the second driveway like a circular driveway. No need to ever back out of the driveway! Southern Shores, a great place to raise a family, is one of America's favorite retirement and beach communities and this location is the best of the best. It is hard to describe all the community amenities in the space allowed but here goes . . . The house is very close to the Hillcrest beach access, just a short walk with a pedestrian "on demand" cross walk to the beach. Don't feel like walking? No problem the access has about 60 parking spaces, a concrete walkway to steps and wheelchair access ramp to the beach. There is a gazebo and a dune-top deck with amazing ocean views. The location is supported by a summer lifeguard for your family's safety. Additionally, there are sound front beaches for the little ones to avoid the ocean waves, play parks, basketball courts, tennis & pickleball courts, boat ramps and marinas, etc. Sounds expensive, right? Nope! You can get all these amenities by joining the voluntary Southern Shores Civic Association for $70 A YEAR and an additional $50 nominal fee for racket sports and boating access. Marina slips are available for an additional reasonable fee based on availability. Use the multipurpose paths to walk, run or bike to Duck or simply drive a few miles up the road to enjoy Duck and all it has to offer: sound front dining at several restaurants, a sound front boardwalk and tons of unique shops. Don't miss this one, act now!

Southern Shores is made of of 8 different neighborhoods from Sea Crest Village and Pelican Watch on the oceanfront and the neighborhoods of Chicahauk, Mallard Cove, Fairway Estates, over on the soundside of Rt.12, with the rest of the Town proper. The newest addition is Southern Shores Landing.

The oceanfront is separated from the soundfront by a large dune ridge than runs the entire length of the town. On the oceanside of the ridge there are rolling sand dunes with the beach wind swept vegetation. The sound side of the ridge is protected from the salty ocean wind offering protection for a maritime forest of hickory, dogwood, holly and other hardwood trees. Southern Shores also has a variety of amenities.

If the house you are looking for is not on this page, but you still would like to buy a beach house in Southern Shores, you will find the rest of the properties for sale spread out throughout this site. If watching the sun rise over the ocean is your thing, we have a section for Southern Shores Oceanfront Homes and a section for Southern Shores Soundfront Homes with sunset views over open water. For the boaters, there is a section for Canalfront Homes in Southern Shores and if your plans are in the future and you just want to get your foot in the door then a building lot in Southern Shores might what's needed to get you started. Browse and enjoy.

You can drive through rolling, wooded hills reminiscent of the mountains to suddenly find yourself at the beach as you cross over the top of the ridge.

Because of this diversity and the oversized lots, Southern shores real estate values have consistently outpaced most of the Outer Banks.
