Welcome to 40238 Ellwood Court, a classic oceanfront cottage tucked right behind the dunes in the heart of Avon. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has everything you need for easy beach living, including a new private pool, screened porch, and a simple, comfortable layout that just feels like the Outer Banks. The home has been thoughtfully remodeled, giving it a fresh, clean coastal feel while still keeping its original beach cottage charm.
Inside, the open living, kitchen, and dining area is bright and inviting with plenty of room to gather after a day on the beach. The updated kitchen offers lots of counter space and bar seating, making it easy to cook, snack, and hang out all at the same time. The screened porch just off the living room is one of those spaces you’ll find yourself using all the time, whether it’s morning coffee, reading a book, or listening to the ocean in the evening.
Outside, the new pool area is spacious and private, with plenty of deck space for relaxing in the sun. The pergola and outdoor bar area add a fun coastal touch and create a great spot to unwind after a beach day. The boardwalk to the ocean makes getting to the beach quick and easy, just the way it should be.
Avon is right in the center of Hatteras Island and makes everyday life easy with the island’s only chain grocery store, local shops, and great restaurants nearby. You’re only minutes from some of Avon’s favorite spots like Gidget’s Pizza, Pangea Tavern, the Avon Pier, and Canadian Hole, known for some of the best kiteboarding and paddling on the East Coast.
If you’ve been looking for an oceanfront home in Avon that feels relaxed, welcoming, and ready to enjoy, this one is definitely worth a look.
