Tucked away beneath a canopy of trees, this truly one-of-a-kind home on Wax Myrtle Trail in Southern Shores offers a peaceful retreat with a laid-back, vintage beach vibe. Located just a half mile from both the Hickory Trail and Hillcrest beach accesses, this cozy cottage lives more like an artist’s loft than a typical OBX home. A wooden spiral staircase connects all three levels of the home, starting with two bedrooms and a full bath (plus laundry) on the first floor. The middle level features an open-concept living space with a relaxed surf-shack charm, including the kitchen, living and dining areas, and sliding doors leading out to a spacious screened-in porch nestled in the trees. At the top of the spiral staircase, a semi-private loft with its own full bath overlooks the main living area with a small private balcony. Outside, you’ll find a sunny open sundeck, an outdoor shower, and a grilling area on the back porch—perfect for post-beach hangouts. The home sits high and dry in an X flood zone on an approximately 18,000-square-foot lot, offering privacy, elevation, and plenty of space for future expansion or improvements. Southern Shores offers more than just stunning beaches. Take advantage of community beach accesses, playgrounds, and a serene soundside park. For a small additional fee, join the Southern Shores Civic Association and Boat Club with a marina and boat ramp, or the Tennis Club for additional activities. Beyond the tranquility of Southern Shores, the vibrant town of Duck is just a short drive (or bike ride) away, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and a charming boardwalk along the Currituck Sound. Whether you're looking for a laid-back coastal getaway or a one-of-a-kind primary residence, this hidden gem invites you to slow down, soak in the surroundings, and make it your own.
