Description
A rare oceanfront opportunity in Kill Devil Hills, this vintage home sits on an expansive 42,000-square-foot lot with a well-established dune line. Built between 1938 and 1940, the property exudes rustic charm and nostalgia for the Outer Banks of decades past. While currently used as a vacation rental with modest income, its true value lies in the land (100 feet wide), offering endless possibilities for redevelopment. Steeped in history, the main living areas of "Sea Chanty" are wrapped in Juniper paneling with exposed beams, preserving the character of a bygone era. The layout reflects its time, with a cozy oceanfront bedroom and private bath tucked behind the kitchen. The central family room opens onto an expansive covered deck and screened porch, both offering sweeping ocean views to the east and south. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a half bath enjoy stunning ocean vistas, with one bedroom providing access to a spacious sundeck. On the ground level, a separate updated bedroom with a full bath and adjacent laundry room adds convenience and privacy. A detached outbuilding remains on the property, offering additional space for storage or potential use. Located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, this oceanfront retreat is just moments from restaurants, attractions, and shopping. Whether restoring its vintage charm or envisioning a new coastal estate, this is a rare chance to secure a premier piece of oceanfront land in a sought-after location. Property is listed as lot 16 & 17, and could be subdivided into two (2) lots as per the town of KDH.
