152 Whistling Swan Drive Lot 10, Duck

Set high above the surrounding landscape on a rare corner homesite, Burd’s Nest offers an exceptional opportunity to own in one of Duck’s most sought-after locations. At approximately 28 feet above sea level and situated in an X flood zone, the property captures sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound; it's an elevated perspective that few homes can offer. The existing six-bedroom home is ready for its next chapter, whether through a thoughtful renovation or a complete reimagining. The structure is already designed for large-group occupancy and can be updated to increase rental appeal and income. With generous living spaces, multiple gathering areas, a game room, theater room and expansive decking, the home was designed to bring people together and can be updated to reflect a more modern coastal style. On the ground level, you’ll find a spacious game room with a full kitchen, plus a primary suite with private bath, a bunk room, and an additional full hall bath. The mid-level features a theater room for the ultimate movie experience. Three more bedrooms, including one primary with ensuite bath and a cozy den, plus a full hall bath and laundry. A spiral staircase serves as the home’s centerpiece, connecting the main level. The top level showcases panoramic ocean views form its expansive decking. The light-filled great room offers ocean views from the couches, too. Views of the ocean and sound are visible from the living room and dining room. Accessible by a ship's ladder is a loft area with it's own mini split currently used as an office. Between the great room and the primary bedroom, you'll find a separate den. The expansive primary suite includes its own sitting area and a spa-inspired bath with jacuzzi garden tub and bidet. Outdoor living is impressive, with abundant decks on different levels accessible from multiple rooms, offering both private retreats and gathering spaces. The 12’ x 31’ saltwater pool with a large patio and tiki bar, complete with sink and refrigerator sets the stage for unforgettable coastal fun. A captain’s watch crowns the home, delivering 360°panoramic views you’ll never forget. With ocean access just a short stroll away to Duck’s nationally renowned beaches, this property is the ideal location. For investors seeking maximum return, the property also presents an ideal redevelopment opportunity. The elevation, corner lot position, and proximity to beach access (approximately 100 yards) support the potential for a new 8-bedroom construction designed to capture higher weekly rental rates and extended booking seasons. Larger, updated homes in Duck continue to see strong demand in the vacation rental market, particularly those offering views and walkable beach access. It creates the opportunity for a custom-built coastal retreat designed to maximize views, privacy, and long-term value. Located just two miles from the heart of Duck Village, you’ll enjoy easy access to boutique shopping, waterfront dining, and the scenic boardwalk, all while enjoying the peace and privacy of an elevated setting. This is a rare chance to secure a premier homesite and create a property that fully captures the beauty and lifestyle of Duck.
