3848 Ivy Lane, Kitty Hawk

This is the kind of place that reminds you why you fell in love with the Outer Banks. Open water stretching toward the horizon, salt marsh shifting with the light, and sunsets that make you stop what you’re doing. Situated at the far end of Kitty Hawk Landing, this home adjoins NC coastal reserve land for protected, sweeping views of the salt marsh and Albemarle Sound. With a western exposure and views from nearly every room, the scenery becomes part of everyday life. The back deck overlooking the water was made for evenings like these. Gather friends for dinner, settle in with a drink, and stay outside a little longer as the sun goes down. A large covered front porch and a screened porch along the side offer even more places to slow down and enjoy the setting. Inside, the spacious living area flows into a kitchen featuring cherry cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a window-lined breakfast nook overlooking the water. A separate room on the opposite side of the kitchen offers flexibility for formal dining or a den, with those same beautiful views. Wood floors add warmth, while skylights bring additional natural light into the home. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a cathedral ceiling, two closets, and views that continue into the private bath, complete with attractive tile, a double vanity, quartz countertop, and a soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms include one with a generous sitting area, and the laundry room is conveniently located on the same level. The third-floor ship’s watch offers another retreat for a home office or reading nook. A dedicated mudroom connects to the attached garage, which features tall ceilings and room for storage and coastal gear. Outside, the property is bulkheaded and features a newly installed fence. Kitty Hawk Landing HOA amenities include a community boat ramp with parking, a picnic area, and community ocean parking with showers. Take the boat out, spend the afternoon at the beach, and make it home for sunset. You’ll want to be here for that.
