12 Fourth Avenue, Southern Shores

Tucked beneath a canopy of mature live oaks on a quiet oceanside street in Southern Shores, this thoughtfully reimagined six-bedroom oceanside home captures the essence of Outer Banks living, where classic coastal charm meets a refined, resort-style experience. From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is unmistakable. Completely reimagined in 2014 with high-end features such as engineered maple hardwood floors, beadboard ceilings and halfwalls, quartz countertops, and a suite of stainless steel Viking appliances, set the tone for elevated coastal living, while a bright and inviting top level brings everyone together. Here, an open-concept design connects the gourmet kitchen, dining area, living space, and additional sitting area, all flowing effortlessly onto sun-drenched decks. Whether hosting a seafood dinner or enjoying a quiet morning, multiple dining options, from the breakfast bar to outdoor seating, create space for every occasion. This level also features a spacious king ensuite with direct deck access, along with two additional bedrooms, one with two queen beds and another king bedroom, served by a full hall bath. The mid-level is designed for both relaxation and privacy, offering a comfortable media lounge perfect for movie nights or game days. A king en suite provides a private retreat, while an additional king bedroom and a bunk room with two built-in twin bunk beds offer flexible accommodations for guests. With covered deck access, a full bath, half bath, and laundry area, this level balances functionality with comfort. On the ground level, the home opens to a true backyard retreat. A gated 40x16 private pool anchors the outdoor space, complemented by a shaded hot tub, an enclosed outdoor shower, and generous lounging areas. A two-car carport and parking for six vehicles add convenience for larger groups. Just 300 feet from semi-private beach access, the home offers both a sense of seclusion and effortless access to the shoreline. When it’s time to venture out, Duck Village is just over a mile away, easily reached by foot or bike along the nearby multi-use path, offering some of the best dining, shopping, and live music the Outer Banks has to offer.
