Welcome to Sof'Shell, a 5 bedroom oceanfront home in Corolla, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. With FOUR levels of living space, brand new ocean-facing decks, ocean views, and fantastic rental income history, this home is unique in every way. And let's not overlook the wide, uncrowded beach out front that makes Corolla so special, and the established dune protecting the home and the coastline. Lovingly furnished and decorated for maximum guest experience, Sof'Shell brought in 96k in owner income in 2024 and in 2025, and has 71k already on the books for 2026. The ground level includes a living space with half bath that also opens to the outside shower. There's laundry and storage on this level also. The next level includes the main entryway, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms has an attached bath, with sliders that open to the ocean-facing deck. The other two bedrooms share a hall bathroom with large tile shower and double sinks. On the third level, you'll find the main living space that opens to the dining and kitchen. There's a large screened porch off the kitchen, ideal for outside dining, that also opens onto the uncovered deck. The largest of the bedrooms is on its own wing, with ocean views and the largest bathroom attached to it. On the other side of the main living space is another bedroom with sliders that open to the deck, and a full bathroom in the hallway. There are ocean views from the main living and dining space, or walk out onto the ocean-facing deck for even more views and a hot tub. There's plenty of space for deck chairs and bar tables on the deck, as it's a great spot to start your morning or wind down your day. Walk up the custom wood spiral staircase to the loft, for another living space and a cute catwalk to the top level deck, with amazing ocean views. There is space for everyone in this unique layout with 3 living spaces. Sof'Shell is a great place to call home as she is, she's already functioning as a rental investment and is completely turn key. But since she's located on prime oceanfront real estate, a new owner could maximize the financial investment even further by putting a larger structure in its place, as the neighbors did. If that is the goal of a new owner, this is a great option b/c you can get great rental income for months or years while you spend time designing your dream investment home.
