An extensive and pricey exterior transformation on this semi-soundfront Monteray Shores home has definitely paid off and in a BIG way... she's a showstopper! The results are simply stunning! New siding, along with many new windows and sliders have all come together to elevate this 3-bed, 2.5-bath woodsy sound retreat into a new class all by itself. It's just steps from the soundside Marsh Landing Pier and its setting affords alluring sound views (just imagine the sunsets) from the two covered front decks and the top floor sun deck. The owners have installed a hot tub patio next to the back covered porch backdropped only by live oaks and pines to create a sense of privacy and relaxation. The primary ensuite in itself is quite a marvel because of its strategic location in the unique (but way cool!) floor plan - other than a half-bath at the landing, it encompasses the entire mid-level floor with access to two outdoor decks, one on the front (sound views) and another on the back! Moving up a half-flight of steps you'll find a spacious open-concept living area - kitchen with new range/oven and microwave, plus updated countertops, dining room, living room with deck facing the sound and an air hockey table toward the back. Another half-flight of stairs leads to a loft area equipped with an arcade table and desk and access to another sound-facing deck. The bottom level of the home affords a covered front entry, laundry room, two bedrooms with a jack-and-jill bath, and access to the covered back porch. Also worth mentioning are the the many amenities offered through the Monteray Shores HOA - a fitness center, outdoor community pool, pickleball, basketball and tennis courts, playground, a soundside boat ramp and pier, and a walking/bike path. Plus, you're in close proximity to all the attractions the Village of Corolla has to offer from ocean sports to golf, shopping, dining and of course, the Currituck Lighthouse, The Whalehead Club, the wild ponies, Audubon Sanctuary, historic Corolla Park and the beach!
