Agent Comments
The best beach living can be found at 178 Clam Shell Trail in Southern Shores. This home is located in Chicahauk. Drive through this neighborhood and see why many local Realtors and other professionals picked this subdivision as their home. This beautiful property is only about a half mile from the beach through Chicahauk’s trails. It’s also adjacent to well over 30 acres of protected maritime forest owned by the HOA. Worried about summer traffic? Residents here can get to the grocery store without going on busy roads. This home was custom built by the award winning Sandmark Construction Company and has been lovingly maintained since. If you want easy one floor living then this floor plan is for you! There are only four steps to get to the main living area where there are also two large ensuite bedrooms. The upstairs would be perfect for visiting family or friends with two bedrooms and a full bathroom. You’ll enjoy the large vinyl lined pool that is adjacent to that maritime forest. Privacy does not get much better on the Outer Banks. This home has just about everything for that current or future Outer Banker!
