Tucked along a quiet street just three rows from the ocean, this beautifully renovated Emerald Isle home pairs ocean views and incredible outdoor living with a warm, custom interior that feels anything but ordinary.

Renovated just two years ago, the stunning custom kitchen was designed to be both beautiful and functional, with quartz countertops, gorgeous cabinetry, an oversized pantry and plenty of space for everyone to gather. Craftsman-style molding, thoughtfully chosen wallpaper and warm finishes give the home character, while the added wood beam and wood-burning fireplace framed in shiplap, makes the living room feel just as inviting on a cool winter evening as it does with the windows full of summer sunshine. Step outside and the living space continues. The decks were expanded to an impressive 10 feet deep, giving you room for dining, lounging and gathering while taking in the ocean views and salt air. A screened porch creates another favorite spot to settle in, whether it is morning coffee, an afternoon in the shade or dinner outside after a day on the beach.
