1412 W First Street Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948

This SOUNDFRONT home with pier and over-water gazebo sits on nearly 3/4 of an acre in Kill Devil Hills! Not only are you right on the soundfront to enjoy fishing, kayaking, boating and our amazing Outer Banks sunsets right out of your back yard, but beach/ocean access is just minutes away and with a pedestrian crosswalk. This is one of the 20 largest soundfront single-family home parcels of the 200 or so in KDH from Bay Drive thru First Street! Tucked away down a quaint neighborhood street, this 4 bedroom 2.5 bath custom built home has been lovingly owned and maintained by ONE owner! The top floor is wide open to showcase the sound views and Outer Banks landscape. Exposed beams and tall ceilings add to the charm. Two sets of french doors (new in 2022) welcome you out onto the deck that spans the entire back of the home and leads to one of TWO screened in porches. Walk onto the expansive deck to view miles of sound views, including the little marsh islands that dot the waterway. If that's not enough of a view (which it is), just walk up the exterior steps to a roof-side deck for even more of a vista and privacy surrounded by trees and water. Back inside the home on the top floor, you'll find a large kitchen that opens to the main living space (and also out onto the screened porch), and a dedicated dining space. There's also a laundry room with storage and a half bath tucked away. Walk down to the mid level of the home, you'll find 4 bedrooms (1 is an en suite) and 2 bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have sliders that open onto the mid-level waterfront deck and have gorgeous sound views. One of these bedrooms has an attached bathroom. The other two bedrooms are on the east side of the home and open onto the large front deck with adorable planters and great sunlight. There are covered screen porches on both this level and the top level, giving you TWO SEPARATE AREAS of shaded protected outdoor living with water views. On the ground level, you'll find dry entry into the home, storage, and covered entertaining space. Walk behind the home out into the large back yard and be guided to the water by the walkway that runs 34' from the shoreline and culminates in 10' x 6' screened-in gazebo. But wait there's more! When you walk thru the front yard and out of the driveway, there's a KDH maintained multi-use walking and biking path that goes for miles, all the way to Kitty Hawk, and most all of it is soundfront. It is a popular place for sunset bike rides, morning jobs and dog walking. Or go the other way out of the driveway and whether you're walking, biking or running, you'll get to the Wright Brothers Monument and the schools. The owner has rented the home for many years on airbnb/vrbo and done quite well. It comes fully furnished and there are custom signs branding its name The Sound Crab all throughout the grounds and the exterior. Here is a sampling of the recent updates: New septic drain field in 2024. Addition of kayak launch in 2022. New fortified roof in 2021, new upstairs flooring and new water heater in 2021. Siding replaced in 2018.
