Ring the bell to the familiar sights and smells of home because this classic will take you back in time. On over 5 acres, you will hear birds chirp, watch your garden grow, and become part of an environment that most only dream about. Unique features include shiplap ceilings in the expansive sunroom, country kitchen, an upper-level atelier, private covered porch, and dog door to the all-purpose mudroom. Yes, an actual ALL-PURPOSE mudroom! This easy-breezy one level living ranch offers original hardwood plank and parka floors, crown moldings, and a flow that will please. Bring your creative side. The upper-level atelier is befitting for the artist, writer, or remote worker in us all. Outside you'll see multiple outbuildings for the tractor, RV, and afternoon family gatherings. Brick fireplaces are both inside and out. Located approx. 2 miles from Mackay Island Wildlife Refuge and Public Boat Launch that leads to a short boat ride across Knotts Island Bay to the 4x4 beaches of the northern Outer Banks! Come see what ''Island Life'' has to offer!
