343 Sea Oats Trail, Southern Shores

Safe in a high dune area of Southern Shores, this custom-built home offers refined coastal living just moments from a private beach access. Clean architectural lines, graceful curved walls, and an open layout set the tone for a home that feels both striking and welcoming. Sunlight pours through generous windows beneath 9-foot ceilings (soaring to 18 feet in the family room), filling the space with warmth throughout the day. The heart of the home is the dramatic family room with its gas fireplace and airy two-story opening. Just beyond, glass doors lead to an expansive sun deck overlooking a beautifully designed saltwater pool and thoughtfully landscaped grounds. The renovated kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring Cambria Lakedale quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with pullout drawers, double wall ovens, a cooktop, black stainless appliances, a breakfast bar, and a well-organized pantry. It flows easily into a cozy morning room with its own gas fireplace and a dining area framed by a large picture window with views of the deck, pool, and gardens. With four bedrooms, including two primary suites on the main level, the layout offers flexibility, privacy, and the option for one floor living. The main primary suite opens to a covered deck overlooking the fenced backyard oasis. Its spa-like bath includes a jetted tub, tiled walk-in shower, double vanity, and toilet with bidet. A handsome library or office with recessed ceilings and custom built-ins, along with a convenient half bath and laundry room, complete the first floor. Upstairs, a wide staircase leads to a loft ideal for reading or media, where you can catch sunsets over the Currituck Sound. Two additional ensuite bedrooms with walk-in closets provide comfortable accommodations for guests or family. Additional highlights include a spacious two-car garage with walk-up attic storage, electronic hurricane shutter at the front entry, irrigation system, and a large outdoor shower—perfect after a day at the beach. Cruise by golf cart or bike to nearby Duck for shopping and dining, or enjoy the Hillcrest private beach access with seasonal lifeguards and ample parking. The beaches here are wide, uncrowded, and recently renourished. Lovingly maintained and never rented, this Southern Shores home is ready to be enjoyed as your own coastal retreat.
