I was in love with this home at first sight! It starts with a picture perfect yard in a quiet setting back in Hatteras Village. The grand set of stairs to the front porch brings you to the formal living room and dining room as you enter the home. This opens up to a warm and welcoming family room with fireplace and an updated kitchen with the best butcher block island to invite friends to stay for a visit.

This main level also has a side entry off the kitchen, a pantry/laundry area, and a half bath, plus a master bedroom and bath with a walk-in closet. The covered back deck has its own magic too. The original 1925 construction (per the homeowner, but tax records say 1930) was just a one level 30' x' 30' home but it has been transformed and updated in 2004 with thoughtful additions to include a second level and bonus secret attic space. The second floor has two bedrooms, a hall bath, an office, and a bonus study/guest room.

Pull down the attic stairs (in an area with plenty of room to house permanent stair access) to reveal a finished attic space which is insulated and has windows on each end, but is not heated and cooled. Breezes off the sound take care of making this bonus attic space usable most months of the year. The detached and elevated workshop and two car garage is a real perk too! It measures 42' x 24' with a ramp to access the garage, is wired for electric, and has its own attic storage.

Come by for a visit! You are sure to enjoy seeing this beautifully maintained home that has been updated and modernized, while still maintaining its history and charm. It simply makes me smile.
