Come check out this charming 5 bedroom, 5 bath home oozing with rental potential in the desirable Chicahauk neighborhood of Southern Shores. Located on an incredibly quiet street with a large, private lot, surrounded by trees and wildlife offering a unique refuge from the bustling roads during the summer. Where this home differs from most “westside” homes is a semiprivate beach walkway just outside the gated heated private pool, offering a convenient and surprisingly quick 800-foot walk to the nearest beach access! Hidden for a reason, for those that visit, make sure to take that stroll to see for yourself. “We want a home close to the beach, but with minimal noise pollution from the road.” It is a question we realtors are often asked, and from Southern Shores to Nags Head, homes that meet those criteria are few and far between…until now! With a convenient reverse floor plan, “Sandy Pants” has a nice open great room with a vaulted ceiling and connecting breakfast bar, kitchen, and dining room. Also on the top floor, two master bedrooms with their own private sliders out to the spacious top deck. The middle level offers another three bedrooms, two more offering their own bath/masters, along with another that shares a full hall bath. In addition, a versatile den, library or even possibly a game room is located on this level, opening up to spacious decks overlooking the pool. Additional updates and upgrades over the past 3 years include -New electric heaters for both the pool and warm water spa -One new HVAC -New Carpeting and Vinyl Flooring -New Roof in 2016 As an additional note, the rental listing and this listing for that matter do not reference a hot tub. The private pool does have a warm water spa that reaches hot tub temperatures attached. A much more aesthetically pleasing feature than the standard gawky tubs found at most homes. In addition, the seller only rents from Memorial Day to Labor Day. See rental projection in associated docs estimating an owner gross income of $86,000 with a full open calendar. The home is part of two separate HOA’s, one optional and one required. The Chickahauk HOA fee is $140 per year and includes Tennis Courts, Kids play & picnic area, Soccer Field, Baseball Field, as well as the aforementioned Ocean access & parking in the Chicahauk beach access parking lot. The optional HOA is for the Southern Shores Civic Association and for $50 per year owners/guests would have access to three sound side marinas with boat launch, semi-private sound beach, & two parking passes for the Southern Shores specific beach accesses. Whether as a primary, second home or sleeping giant rental, come check out 138 Clam Shell Trail today! House is vacant until 5/28 at which, point the summer rentals start making Saturday the only showing window until September.
