Homes For Sale In The Town Of Kill Devil Hills NC

Kill Devil Hills has an odd name but the story behind it brings to life the folk history of the area. Rum was the drink of choice back in the colonial times. A ship wrecked on the shores of Kill Devil Hills laden with a shipment of rum. The locals scavenged the shipment, as was customary in those days, and hid the rum behind the sand dunes where the Wright brothers later flew the first plane. The rum was strong enough to "Kill the devil" and those dunes where the rum was hidden was nicknamed Kill Devil Hill and the name has stuck like a sandspur.

On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first successful power-driven airplane flight from the sand dune known as the Kill Devil Hill near the town of Kitty Hawk. History records the first flight in Kitty Hawk but the location of the flight was actually in Kill Devil Hills.

Kill Devil Hills is the oldest town on the Outer Banks of North Carolina having incorporated in 1953. Still a baby of a town compared to most localities across the US, it is the most established town on the Outer Banks. Kill Devil Hills is comprised of 63 subdivisions/communities containing some 8,000+ parcels of which some 1,000 are vacant lots. According to the US Census Bureau, there are 10,500 year round residents. Kill Devil Hills has the highest percentage of year round residents of all the towns on the Outer Banks. This is where you will also find most of the restaurants, stores and ancillary services that a permanent population requires. There are also a large number of vacation homes making Kill Devil Hills the perfect location.

Bordered by Kitty Hawk on the north, Nags Head on the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Kitty Hawk Bay to the west, Kill Devil Hills has 17 free public beach accesses on the ocean front, 2 sound accesses, 1 sound boat ramp, 2 children's play grounds, and a pleasant selection of beach houses. Kill Devil Hills is one of the most vacation friendly resort towns on the east coast.

Westside Kill Devil Hills at MP 9.5, right in the middle of the places that make everyday life on the Outer Banks easy. Located in the Whispering Pines neighborhood, 204 Pine Grove Trail is in an X flood zone and offers something increasingly hard to find in KDH: a well-maintained home with a good-sized yard, extra usable space, and a location close to just about everything. A large covered front porch welcomes you upstairs and gives you a shady spot to enjoy the outdoors. Inside, high cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows make the open great room feel bright and spacious, connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a brand new refrigerator, while brand new LVP flooring runs throughout the home for a clean, cohesive look. Down the hall are two guest bedrooms and a full bath, with the primary bedroom and its private bath tucked at the end of the hall. The laundry room is conveniently located on the main living level, and a whole-house water filtration system is another thoughtful addition. Downstairs, this home offers something extra. The sellers added approximately 255 sq. ft. of additional unheated flex space, giving you plenty of possibilities for a second living room, game room, home gym, hobby space or additional hangout space. The space is not heated and is not included in the heated square footage, but it does have its own AC unit. A covered carport and dry entry are especially handy on those sideways rain kind of OBX days. Out back, a beautiful mature live oak gives the property a little of that old Kill Devil Hills character you just cannot manufacture. The large yard is fenced on three sides with plenty of room to grill, gather, garden or spend an evening outside under the oak. A 12 x 12 shed provides additional storage, while the double concrete driveway offers plenty of parking. There is also floored attic space for even more storage. Several of the big-ticket improvements are already handled, including a FORTIFIED Roof completed in August 2025, new gutters, a new front deck and stairs in 2024, HVAC from 2018, and a septic system pumped in July 2026. And at MP 9.5, you are genuinely in the middle of KDH life. Grab dinner at Mama Kwan's, meet friends for a beer at Swells'a, make the inevitable Harris Teeter run or head across the highway to the beach. It is all just a few minutes from home. No need to choose between being close to the action and having a little room of your own. Here, you get both. * Some photos have been virtually enhanced using AI
