Break free from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and retreat to Sandescape in the Hatteras Colony community of Salvo. This oceanfront home offers direct beach access, unobstructed views and morning sunrises over the Atlantic. Your family will love having their very own private pool (with free solar heat!) right in the backyard for around-the-clock outdoor fun. A reverse floor plan takes full advantage of the ocean views, which can be enjoyed from all the common areas on the top level. Vaulted ceilings with original wood paneling and exposed beams add to the coastal charm of this classic beach cottage. A spacious living area provides plenty of comfortable seating, with an open-concept layout ideal for gathering. It leads out to a wrap-around oceanfront deck where you can soak up some Vitamin D while enjoying the view. Or make your way to the screened-in porch and relax in the shade with a cold beverage. Back inside, everyone can pitch in with meal prep using the well-equipped kitchen boasting gorgeous granite countertops and bar seating. The first of four bedrooms is also located on the top level and includes deck access and an adjacent hall bath that's been recently updated. Three more bedrooms are situated on the lower level, along with two more remodeled baths. Sandescape welcomes dogs, so your four-legged companions can join you on the pet-friendly beaches of Hatteras Island. Located in Salvo where the beaches are wide and uncrowded, Sandescape is in a slower-paced, laid-back area while still being just a short drive away from shopping, dining and outdoor activities. Just 2.5 miles south you'll find the popular Salvo Day Use Area, where you can experience the other side of the island. Maintained by the National Park Service, this family-friendly soundside beach includes a picnic area and restroom facilities. It's the perfect place for launching kayaks, kiteboards and SUP's.
