46081 Ocean Drive Lot 31, Buxton

Steps from the sand and moments from the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, this oceanside Buxton retreat offers the perfect mix of comfort, charm, and income potential. Just a few lots from the beach access on a private road, this lovingly maintained 4-bedroom, 4-bath home—Rent & Relax In Hidden Gems—welcomes guests and owners alike with inviting spaces and thoughtful updates. Soak in the breeze and salt air from two levels of covered decks, or unwind by the fenced-in private pool. Inside, you'll find a game room with TV, foosball table, and arcade style video game systems ideal for entertaining after a day in the sun. The lower-level full bath is perfect for quick trips in from the pool. The mid-level features three bedrooms, including a queen en suite with private deck access, a queen bedroom with shared Jack-and-Jill bath, and a bunk room that’s perfect for kids. A top-level king suite opens to a semi-private bath and leads to an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with breakfast bar—brightened by ample windows and sliders that invite in natural light and sea breezes. Enjoy quiet moments on the upper deck porch swing as you listen to the nearby ocean. Recent updates include Carrier coastal heat pumps (2023), a tankless gas water heater (2023), a fortified roof (2020), and more—making this home turnkey and rental-ready. It's a strong investment in both lifestyle and return. Situated within walking distance to Buxton’s restaurants, shopping, skate park, and renowned surf and fishing spots—plus just a short drive to the lighthouse and public sound access for kiteboarding and kayaking—this is the Buxton beach escape you've been waiting for.
