$898,000
Forty years of beach memories. A classic Corolla setting. An opportunity to shape what comes next with a price that says don’t hesitate and a $50,000 seller credit toward a rate buydown, closing costs and improvements, subject to lender guidelines and agreed contract terms. There is a warmth to this home that comes from years of laughter, sandy feet and summers well spent. Those good beach vibes still live here, ready for the next chapter. Just a few lots from the beach, 839 Corolla Drive pairs old Outer Banks charm with ocean views, a large lot in the X flood zone and an aggressive price that reflects both its potential and the improvements still needed. Generous square footage, comfortably sized living spaces and multiple ensuite bedrooms provide room to gather, spread out and enjoy life at the beach. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a pool, new hot tub and refreshed spaces for relaxing after a day on the sand. The manicured grounds feature classic Japanese coastal pines, thoughtfully pruned to complement the land and give the property an established coastal character. There is a familiar feeling here that longtime beach lovers will recognize. Summer days by the ocean, afternoons around the pool and evenings spent sharing stories. This home has been part of that tradition for decades, and its next chapter offers room for a new owner’s vision. Significant updates include new HVAC systems serving all three levels in 2026, new ductwork on the first and second floors, and replacement of approximately one third of the windows. Additional replacement windows are stored in the garage for the buyer to install. Two new rear decks with rails and steps, a new paver patio, new aluminum pool fencing and a new hot tub refresh the outdoor spaces. Other improvements include select appliances, new ceiling drywall across all three levels and some new siding on the ground level’s east side. The spacious layout offers opportunities to refresh and personalize, including a lower level with possibilities for a more inviting and versatile living space. For a buyer who sees the possibilities, the beach proximity, ocean views, substantial living space and spacious lot provide a compelling foundation for a remodel that preserves the home’s character while improving its comfort and function. Aggressive pricing creates an opportunity to pursue that vision and potentially build equity through well planned improvements. Bring your ideas, preserve a little of the old Outer Banks and make room for the next generation of beach memories. Home Inspection on File providing clarity to contract with knowing results upfront....a huge value in 2026. Call Shane Collins and the OBX Island Guys with SERHANT for your private tour today!
