1651 Midland Road Lot 1, Corolla

Built just three years ago as a true custom dream home, this exceptional property was thoughtfully designed to serve as a luxury primary residence or an upscale coastal retreat. Located in the highly desirable 4WD area of Swan Beach, the home offers the rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenient access—just a scenic 20-minute beach drive with easy access directly to the property between the dunes. Here, wide open beaches, roaming wild horses, and a peaceful coastal setting create an experience unlike anywhere else on the Outer Banks. The original owners spared no expense, incorporating craftsmanship and high-end finishes throughout—from the wide-plank European white oak flooring to the designer chef’s kitchen and oversized finished garage. Never rented.The current owners have elevated the home even further with sophisticated furnishings and stylish décor, creating a turnkey property that is polished, inviting, and ready to enjoy from day one. Offering four spacious bedrooms, two full baths, two half baths, and a large outdoor shower, the home is comfortably accommodating across three levels. A Cambridge Heritage elevator with safety door provides easy access throughout the home. The mid-level bedrooms are carpeted for comfort, while the upper living areas showcase stunning white oak flooring. The lower-level rec room, foyer, and bath feature updated luxury vinyl plank flooring, and the stunning custom staircase is finished with white oak treads, posts, and handrails. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath complete with heated marble floors, double vanity, oversized tiled walk-in shower with bench seating, and a huge custom-designed walk-in closet. A second full bath also features heated tile floors and a tiled walk-in shower with benches. Throughout the home, attention to detail continues with Kohler comfort-height toilets, soft-close lids, chrome fixtures, sound-insulated bedroom walls, built-in stair lighting, and WiFi-enabled Nest thermostats. The kitchen is truly the centerpiece of the home, designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Café matte white appliances include a six-burner dual-fuel gas range, commercial-style hood, beverage cooler, dishwasher, and refrigerator with reverse osmosis filtered hot and cold water. Quartz countertops, an oversized island with seating for four, and a beautifully appointed walk-in pantry with butcher block counters and custom shelving complete the space. A continuous marble backsplash ties the kitchen and pantry together with seamless elegance. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Multiple covered decks, sun decks, and porches provide abundant space to relax and enjoy coastal breezes, with relaxing ocean views. Highlights include a screened porch with custom oak ceiling, expansive sun deck with lean-out benches, covered second- and third-level decks with hose bibs and outlets, and a private deck off the primary suite. All decks are furnished with stylish outdoor furnishings that perfectly complement the home’s upscale coastal design. The ground level offers a spacious rec room with home theater seating, oversized two-car garage, and excellent utility features including a WiFi-enabled garage door, hot/cold hose bib, and steel beam construction supporting the open lower-level design. Climate control is handled by dual-zone Rheem HVAC systems plus a supplemental mini-split system serving the lower level and garage. Additional upgrades include pre-wiring for a future pool, hot tub, and portable generator, 400-amp electrical service, low-E windows with tilt-in sashes. Every detail of this home reflects quality, comfort, and thoughtful design. Stylish yet practical, luxurious yet welcoming, this is a rare opportunity to own a nearly new coastal home along a rare unspoiled wide sand beach.Less than 5 miles off the hard pavement to this residential oasis.
