Well-maintained coastal cottage on a very nice North Ocean Pines cul-de-sac street! Custom-built by Stephen Falck Construction and features a great room with dramatic, open cathedral ceiling with exposed beams. Nestled on a brick corner hearth, the woodstove anchors the great room with timeless warmth., and a newer 'Hunter'- brand paddle fan keeps the air moving during all four seasons. As a cherished second home, the owners loved the mountain-like feeling brought by the changing leaves each season—yet they were only a quick 10-minute ride from the Atlantic Ocean. It offered the perfect blend of both wooded tranquility, and coastal convenience. Newer architectural-grade roof shingles (one layer) replaced around 2011 by Rakow Homes, a newer 50-gallon hot water heater replaced around 2020, 2019 a new 2 1/2 ton Goodman 14 SEER heat pump plus a new Honeywell touch-screen wi-fi thermostat. CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION installed September, 2018 and a commercial dehumidifier. Refrigerator new around 2021, and the other appliances around February 2011, and the gutter guards are approximately 5 years old... House also features spacious screened porch, a grilling deck below on the side of the house, an outdoor shower, and a storage shed. A large 28' wide front entry deck flanks the front of the house.
