If you've been waiting for something affordable that doesn't feel like a total project, this might be your spot. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home started life as a single-wide, but don't let that scare you off...it's had a solid glow-up. With an addition for extra space and a series of recent upgrades including a new roof, HVAC, appliances, and flooring, much of the heavy lifting has already been done. Inside, you'll find a clean, refreshed interior that's move-in ready, whether you're looking for employee housing, a primary residence, or a practical investment property. It's not pretending to be something it's not... but it is a comfortable, functional home at a price point that's near impossible to find on the Outer Banks. The home has been converted to real property, and while the HUD tag has not been located, an IBTS verification letter has been received. The simplest route would most likely be a cash buyer, though financing may be possible! Agents, please reach out for lender options already identified. Septic system was pumped, filter replaced, and visually inspected in April 2026. Bottom line: it's not luxury, but it's updated, budget-friendly, and centrally located. And in today's market, that checks a lot of boxes.
