First Flight Village


If you or anyone you know is in the market for a nice home in a great neighborhood, read on.   The property featured this week is located in First Flight Village in Kill Devil Hills.......a popular, family friendly neighborhood on the Outer Banks.

Here is what the MLS notes say:

"Magnificent Oak trees grace this lovely, landscaped home. Owner has replaced roof, appliances and floors in the past few years. Come see the sparkling wood floors! Plenty of room for rocking chairs on the front porch with both screened and unscreened areas. Sun bathe in privacy on the back deck. Fenced backyard. Enormous utility room with built-in cabinets. A great storage shed underneath the house, 2 heat pumps & front yard irrigation system add to this home's gracious living."

This is a  home I have actually been in and it is very nice, very clean and would be great for a family.  The kitchen is big and there is also a separate dining area.  I wish my utility room was as nice, lots of space and built in cabinets.  There is a screened porch on the front deck and a nice deck right off of the kitchen too.   Lots of nice people live on this street and in this community.......I know because I live there too!

Old Nags Head Place

The following is from Ashley Fellers:

    As a Realtor on the Outer Banks for 8 years, I’ve seen, sold, shown and walked through many many homes.  Every now and then you come across a listing, maybe yours or maybe another agent’s listing that you are showing to a customer that really strikes you.  And you just fall in love with that house.  Well I have a new listing in Old Nags Head Place that fits that bill.  There are so many things I like about this property.  For example, this neighborhood has mainly 50’ wide x 200’ deep lots which can get a little boring.  Not this house; it sits on a 129x106x127x128 lot and the home was custom designed to fit on this lot.  It also has similar shaped lots on either side with nice landscaping all around.  Another favorite feature of this home is it’s gorgeous wood work.  The builder, Brian Brumfield is known for his custom cedar shake homes with that Nags Head Cottage style.  It has wraparound covered porches with exposed rafters and built-in benches (which is exactly what I want when I build my dream house some day!).  The kitchen and open living room has even more beautiful mill work by yacht builders who worked for Brumfield Construction at the time this was built.  These guys really did a nice job and were obviously skilled wood workers.  To me, nothing makes a home nicer than excellent trim work.  I know it’s not cheap, but it makes all the difference in the world.  I see so many houses here on the Outer Banks with varying levels of quality.  This is a home that makes me want to find the perfect buyer for, one who will appreciate the quality and have the time to really spend here if it’s a second home.  It would be a shame to see a home like this sit empty any longer than it should be.

A Summer Place

Ring...Ring......."Hello"

"Hey, how are ya'll doing up there? This is OBXBlogger from the Outer Banks......is Mr Trump in?" 

"How did you get this private number?"

"I wanted to let the Donald know that we  have a beautiful home available here that he might be interested in.......can you connect me or give me his cell phone number?"

"No, I most certainly can not"

"Hmm, well then can you give him this domain name so he can read about it? I really think he would love this place and we would surely love to have him as a neighbor..........hello???"  Now that was downright unfriendly.  Does any one have Bill Gates email address?  I might give Oprah a call too.......

A Summer Place Unlike Any Other (really)

Standing on 2.4 acres on the northern end of Duck, "A Summer Place" offers spectacular views and unparalleled privacy from every corner of the property. The exclusive community of Palmer’s Island consists of 14 custom homes offering an ideal sanctuary to enjoy all the Outer Banks has to offer. The surrounding Audubon Reserve enhances the beautiful, endless sound and marsh views to the west and complements the panoramic ocean views to the east.

The detailed design and quality construction of the 7-bedroom main house and 3-bedroom guest house, combined with the unique physical features of the property, make this a one-of-a-kind estate on the Outer Banks. And this is your opportunity to own it!

Pass The Mint Juleps


"Magnolia Bay"........doesn't that name conjure up images of large verandas, warm summer days and cool drinks?  For some reason it reminds me of the movie 'Gone with the Wind'; gracious Southern living and friendly hospitality. 

When I worked in our Corolla office I was in this home several times and it was a favorite.  'Sounds Easy' is right on the sound front and the views and especially the sunsets are amazing.  I have posted some pictures for your viewing pleasure.  One of the best things was the double sided fireplace in the master bedroom.......imagine sitting in the tub and watching the flames dance around on a winter day.  

The owners are two of the nicest people I know and I was sorry to see that they were selling their home because they are such a pleasure to work with. That being said, I am sure that Matt Myatt, the listing agent, will find just the right buyer for this lovely home. 

The Currituck Club is a wonderful neighborhood for both year round residents and for vacationers too.  Lots of amenities and features including several community pools, a fitness center, trolley service to the beach, sidewalks (not very common on the Outer Banks), and of course it is located right on one of the most beautiful golf courses you will see. 

As I mentioned, the lovable and charming Matt Myatt is the Broker with all the details and will be happy to give you more information about this listing.  More Information




     

  

  

House Rule...........If you buy this home, Matt owes me a beverage of my choice and possibly even dinner!

Got Oceanfront?

I drive by this house every day on the way to and from work and dream of owning it.   It is for sale but a little out of my price range.  

'On the Rocks II' is right on the Oceanfront in Kill Devil Hills and was brand new last year.  It is in our rental program and very popular.   One of our sales agents, the lovely Ashley Fellers, has it listed and I thought why not put it on our blog in case some one is looking for that perfect OBX Beach House. 

This 8 bedroom beauty has a private pool and hot tub, elevator and 6 master bedrooms. Terrific location, close to Goombays Bar and Grill and the Pearl Restaurant at the Sea Ranch.   Great beach here too.  

If you want to read more, see some pictures, get the price and all the details, here is a link

Our toll free number is 800-588-9688. Ask for Ashley at extension 3306 and if you end up buying this gorgeous home tell her she owes me lunch!

It's Always a Great Day on the Outer Banks
