This is one of those Duck homes that just makes sense! It is in the heart of Duck, close enough to walk to the shops, restaurants, boardwalk and waterfront, while Schooner Ridge gives you a terrific collection of amenities right outside your door. The house itself is bright, comfortable and very well cared for, with thoughtful updates and plenty of room for family and friends. The top level is the heart of the home. The open living area has a cathedral ceiling, beautiful wide plank wood floors and great natural light. The kitchen opens to the dining and living spaces, making it easy to cook, gather and keep everyone together. There is plenty of room to spread out without the house ever feeling oversized. A half bath is conveniently located on this level, along with access to both the screened porch and the east-facing sun deck. The screened porch is a great place for morning coffee or an evening meal, while the east deck is where you can sit back, catch the ocean breeze. Four bedrooms are located on the mid-level, along with two nicely updated bathrooms. The bedrooms are bright, comfortable and well appointed, and the layout works especially well for a vacation home. Outside, the mid-level deck has a private hot tub tucked away for a little extra relaxation after a day at the beach. The connected decks make it easy to move between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The practical things are well covered, too. Laundry is conveniently located on the mid-level, while the ground level provides storage, a dry entry and an outdoor shower. There is also room underneath the house that could offer an opportunity for additional outdoor living space or future heated space, depending on your plans. The exterior has received the kind of updates that matter at the beach: cement fiber shingles on most of the home, an updated roof and recent paint. The Trex decking and vinyl railings are in great condition. This isn't a house where the owners have simply kept things going—it has been consistently maintained with an eye toward long-term value, and that care is evident. And then there is Schooner Ridge. The oceanfront pool is a standout, but the amenities go well beyond the beach: an indoor pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, fitness area, racquetball court and more. The community gives everyone plenty to do when you aren't at the beach, and it makes this an especially versatile home for both personal use and vacation rental potential. The owners have enjoyed this as a second home for the past 16 years and have taken great care of it along the way. Add in the location in downtown Duck, the walkability, the updates and one of the better amenity packages in town, and you have a home that is easy to enjoy and easy to understand. Come see why 115 Schooner Ridge is such a good fit for the Duck lifestyle!
