1 Second Avenue, Southern Shores

Opportunities like this rarely come along — a true oceanfront home on one of the most desirable streets in Southern Shores, set on over half an acre with panoramic views and private beach access. Located on 2nd Avenue, a quiet, elevated stretch of coastline beloved for its wide beaches and natural dunes, this 7-bedroom home sits on a 25,500 square foot lot and offers the kind of space, privacy, and setting that defines Outer Banks living. Every detail has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded. The exterior features newly stained cedar shake siding, low-maintenance PVC trim, and vinyl handrails. Inside, you’ll find engineered hardwood floors, stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, and a reverse floor plan that brings in natural light and endless ocean views. The spacious great room opens to a screened porch and oceanside sundeck — and just beyond, a private dune-top deck takes you straight from the house to the beach. No roads to cross, no dunes to climb — just you, the sand, and the sound of the waves. An elevator adds convenience across all levels, and seven bedrooms offer flexibility for family and guests. The ground level also holds a designated office space and workshop. Outside, a heated saltwater pool extends the season, and an outdoor shower makes beach days even easier. With a strong rental history, enduring coastal style, and one of the most coveted oceanfront lots in Southern Shores, this is more than just a beach house — it’s the kind of property that stays in the family for generations.
