Looking for a classic Buxton home with plenty of character and room to spread out? This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has that old Hatteras Island charm you just don’t find everywhere. Inside, beautiful wood ceilings and wood paneling give the home a warm, coastal cottage feel. The spacious living area offers plenty of room to gather, while the updated kitchen brightens things up with white cabinetry, generous counter space, tile backsplash, stainless steel dishwasher, and lots of storage. The home offers three bedrooms, two full baths, and a dedicated laundry area with additional built-in storage. The four-bedroom septic system was installed in 2019, adding another nice feature and future flexibility. Outside, the large deck gives you even more room to enjoy island living, and the additional outbuildings offer extra storage and plenty of possibilities. Some of the big-ticket items have already been taken care of too, including a new FORTIFIED roof and new electrical service to the exterior of the home. And you can’t beat the Buxton location! You are close to the beach, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, fishing, restaurants, shopping, and everything we love about Hatteras Island. Whether you are looking for a primary home, second home, or investment property, this one has lots of potential. Come take a look and see what you could make it!
