Once in a great while, an opportunity arises to own an oceanside home in Emerald Isle—this is one of them. This exceptionally maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath Sandpiper-style cottage has remained in the seller's family since its original construction and reflects years of thoughtful care and pride of ownership. Ideally positioned stretching from Purdie Drive to Emerald Drive, the property offers direct access to the island's bike path, making it easy to walk or ride anywhere up and down the island. Inside, the home features a spacious great room that seamlessly connects to an oversized sunroom and den—an addition that must be seen to fully appreciate how naturally the layout flows for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is designed for gathering, with a generous bar area and large pantry, perfect for hosting family and friends. The main living level includes a private en-suite bedroom and convenient handicap ramp access to the primary entrance. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath and are connected by an open staircase overlooking the main living space. A detached garage adds even more value, offering a large laundry area, two-car parking, and a finished second-level space ideal for storage, a home office, or future customization. This rare Emerald Isle offering combines location, history, and functionality—an oceanside retreat ready for its next chapter.
