Own a piece of lovingly reimagined Southern coastal history in this turnkey 1954 soundfront retreat on Waterlily — a home where classic Carolina character has been thoughtfully renewed with modern comfort, craftsmanship, and an unmistakable sense of place. Positioned along the serene Coinjock shoreline, this residence lives like a story passed down through generations: sunrise light spilling across the water, the soft hum of the sound, and the charm of a grandfathered boathouse with electric and internet — a rare amenity that anchors the property directly to the waterway. It’s a space with personality all its own. Local otters often slip inside, stretching out for naps on the floats, adding a touch of coastal whimsy to everyday life. Inside, the remodel unfolds with a sense of intention. Every room feels renewed yet rooted, blending the soul of a historic home with the ease of a modern one. Separate-floor living creates flexibility for multi-generational arrangements, long-term guests, or private work-from-home setups. The ground level opens with a gracious great room framed by sweeping sound views — the kind of panorama that makes you pause. It flows seamlessly into the dining area and a beautifully updated kitchen finished with quartz countertops, soft coastal hues, and a layout designed for gathering. A tucked-away office offers quiet productivity, while a serene bedroom and full bath with a towel warmer bring boutique-level comfort. Even the laundry room has been elevated, featuring high-end finishes, a deep sink, and generous counter space that turns everyday tasks into something effortless. Upstairs and down, the home captures picture-perfect sunrises over the water. From both levels, the Currituck Lighthouse stands framed in the distance — a postcard view that shifts with the light and seasons, offering a daily reminder of the Outer Banks’ storied past. Outside, rebuilt decks and porches extend the living space into the coastal breeze. The pier and boathouse — reinforced and upgraded with lighting and new electrical service — create a launch point for boating, fishing, paddleboarding, or simply savoring the stillness of Waterlily. And when you’re ready to explore, you’re moments from Coinjock Marina, known for blackened fish bites, evening cocktails, and yacht-watching along the International Waterway. With a 30-minute drive to the Outer Banks beaches and 30 minutes to Virginia, this home offers the perfect blend of peaceful retreat and convenient access. A rare opportunity to step into a fully updated, turnkey soundfront home where history, luxury, and coastal serenity come together in one unforgettable Southern sanctuary.
