Freshly finished new construction, this is the one you’ve been waiting for. Top-floor living the way the Outer Banks was meant to be enjoyed: wide-open pond views the moment you open your eyes, morning light pouring across new stainless appliances and a huge kitchen island, and a covered deck that practically begs you to linger over coffee while herons drift across the water. The open living and dining area feels even bigger with vaulted ceilings and glass that frames the pond like artwork. Two bedrooms (including a peaceful primary suite), two full baths, and a handy powder room keep everything convenient on the same level. Head downstairs to a third bedroom with its own bath and a flexible den perfect for a bunk room, office, or hide-out. Under the house, there’s dry parking, space for all the toys, and the outdoor shower everyone fights over after the beach. Kinnakeet Shores gives you resort life without the resort price tag: community pool, brand-new pickleball courts, tennis, soundside boardwalk for kayaks and paddleboards, and quiet trails that wind through the marshes. Groceries, restaurants, and coffee are an easy stroll or golf-cart cruise away. Turn-key, low-maintenance, and ready for your first sunset this weekend.
