Description
The most desirable waterfront community with amenities, elevation, protection and park access all in one. This one has some age on it, and that is part of its story. This 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath, 1,258 square foot corner unit in Villa Dunes is largely original, carrying an old school Outer Banks charm from a time when beach living was simple and that was exactly the point. You can feel the memories this family made here, and now it is ready for someone new to give it a fresh chapter. Priced approximately $90,000 below the lowest recent sale, the opportunity is easy to see. Rather than paying a premium for someone else's renovation choices, there is room to update at your own pace, personalize the space and potentially create meaningful equity after closing. Villa Dunes is a private, sound front community tucked alongside Jockey's Ridge State Park, surrounded by nature trails and open green space. Community amenities include multiple swimming pools, tennis/pickleball courts, private mail facilities, sound access, docks and a boat launch. Even better, you are within biking distance of the beach, Dowdy Park, the Outer Banks Family YMCA and local favorite Waveriders Coffee, Deli & Market. Yes, it is dated, but there is something refreshingly authentic about it. No trendy makeover and no attempt to hide its age, just a well-loved beach place in a location that is increasingly hard to duplicate. Buy it for the setting and the lifestyle, then bring the interior forward at your own pace while keeping as much of that simple, old school Outer Banks character as you want.
