Located in a coastal community that includes a mix of primary and secondary residences, this charismatic Outer Banks-style weekend retreat takes full advantage of its waterfront orientation by providing views of the surrounding wetlands on all four sides. The home lies within a high-wind and flood zone, so the grade level provides storage space for the family's automobiles, golf cart and watercraft. A two-story porch makes a singular entry statement. Inside, the foyer and central living room feature dramatic ceiling volumes that extend to a covered rear porch. The main floor also includes a music room, a home theater and a study with two built-in work-space alcoves. The contemporary floor plan omits the formality of a separate dining room by aligning the eating area with the kitchen in an open, shared-view arrangement. A two-tiered snack bar and service island augment dining options here. Two bedroom suites, both with full baths and walk-in closets, complete the space on the main floor. The home's third level is dedicated solely to the master retreat, which looks out on panoramic views. An elevator services all levels of this delightful vacation home.
