Imagine an oceanside home thoughtfully designed to provide exceptional separation of space, abundant outdoor living, and beautiful views of Bogue Sound--all nestled on a high, secluded setting in Emerald Isle. Adding to the appeal is convenient neighborhood access to a trail leading to the Atlantic Ocean and beach. Solidly built with a unique layout across four levels of living, this distinctive home offers a floor plan that creates natural separation between gathering spaces and private retreats. A covered front entry porch welcomes you into a grand foyer with access to the deep garage, a large coat and storage closet, and recessed lighting illuminating the stairway leading to the first living level. The second level is dedicated to comfortable bedroom accommodations, with bedrooms, a laundry closet, and a full bath featuring a double vanity. Continuing upward, the main living level opens into a welcoming gathering space centered around a spacious living room with a raised ceiling and fireplace, creating a warm focal point for relaxing. The adjoining dining area provides direct access to the screened porch, extending the living space outdoors. A full-service kitchen offers generous workspace, a deep walk-in pantry, and the added convenience of a laundry chute, while a half bath serves the main living area. Another short flight of stairs leads to the uppermost level, where a versatile loft/office area provides space for working, reading, or relaxing. The private principal suite taking in the Bogue Sound views occupies this level and features a walk-in closet, spacious bath with double vanity, laundry chute, and access to its own private deck--an ideal retreat to enjoy the coastal setting. With multiple decks, a screened porch, sound views, a high and private setting, and neighborhood beach access, this home offers a distinctive combination of coastal lifestyle and thoughtful multi-level design. Whether enjoying quiet mornings outdoors, gathering with family and friends, or retreating to the privacy of the upper-level owner's suite, this Emerald Isle home delivers a coastal experience with room for everyone to have their own space.
