Coastal Charm Meets Easy, Low-Maintenance Comfort in the Heart of a Maritime Village. Nestled in the heart of the Village of Oriental, this beautifully maintained duplex offers a rare blend of timeless charm, thoughtful upgrades, and versatile living. Step inside and immediately experience the sense of openness created by elevated ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The inviting living space is anchored by a warm gas log fireplace, creating the perfect atmosphere for cozy evenings year-round. Just beyond, a stunning all-seasons glass-enclosed sunroom provides a peaceful sanctuary–ideal for morning coffee, reading, or simply enjoying the surrounding views in any weather. The galley-style kitchen is designed for efficiency and functionality, seamlessly connecting to the main living areas and making everyday living or entertaining effortless. Recent updates–including new flooring and carpeting–enhance both comfort and aesthetic appeal, while major system improvements like a roof replacement in 2018 offer long-term peace of mind. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A covered back deck extends your living space into the fresh air, while a charming three-season room creates the perfect setting for gatherings or quiet relaxation. Each side of the duplex benefits from a privacy fence, ensuring a sense of separation and comfort rarely found in multi-family properties. Practical features further elevate this home’s value, including a whole-home generator for uninterrupted power, a water softening system, and a one-bay garage complete with a workshop area and elevated storage–perfect for hobbies, tools, or additional organization.

Walk of golfcart to local events, shops, eateries and town’s grocery. Our area on the inner banks is prime for boating, fishing or hunting enthusiasts..
