Lovely builder's home on a choice lot in Chicahauk in Southern Shores. This home was built by Joe Smith as his own personal home before he retired. The location of this home is what makes it exceptional! It backs up to common area and if you walk behind the garage, there is a path that will lead you out to Spindrift and then over the "turtle pond" bridge which leads out to the beach in less than 5 minutes! This was built for year-round living on a concrete block foundation with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, laundry room, pantry, office space and an upstairs den area. There are so many special features such as a brick gas fireplace, real hardwood floors, solid wood trim and closets galore! If you want traditional floorplan with the master on the first floor, then this is it! This seller is only the second owner for this home and they added a saltwater pool in 2008, with solar panels on the garage for heating and just replaced the pool pump this year. It also has a 2 car garage, existing well on the property and lots of mature shrubs. There is also more storage in the space above the garage. Owner wants to sell home as is. The front of the roof has not been replaced since they have owned it in 2004 and the back half of the roof was replaced in the last 10 years, it has polybutylene piping and realize that someone may want to do their own updates. This location does not come available often in Chicahauk. This community has tennis courts, picnic pavilion, many walking paths, multi-use paths for biking, playground and field which leads to canal access. There is another canal access on Poteskeet with picnic tables and is easy to launch the kayaks here. Chicahauk has access to two shopping centers without having to go out on Route 12 during the summer season, which is just one of the reasons why we all love living here!
