Live the worry-free, Island lifestyle in this newly constructed coastal cottage in Kinnakeet Villas, located in the village of Avon. Completed in 2025, this pondfront, bright, comfortable home offers 2 generously sized bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a reverse floor-plan with an open-concept living area centered around a spacious kitchen with quartz countertops, a large island, and clean coastal finishes. Vaulted ceilings and natural light give the main living area an open, comfortable feel, while luxury vinyl plank flooring adds a practical, easy-care finish throughout. Over-sized double French doors in the living room open to the extra large covered deck, where you can take in the distant Sound views and amazing sunsets. An additional smaller covered deck off the kitchen, landscaped grounds, and an outdoor shower complete the coastal feel and extend the living space outside. Between the ample closets, the oversized laundry and utility space, and the large 18'x7' elevated ground-level room, there’s plenty of storage for beach gear, fishing equipment, and wind sports toys. With municipal water, community septic, quality construction, and HOA-covered road and grounds maintenance, ownership here is designed to be simple and straightforward. As an added benefit, the seller is offering to cover the first year of dues for a Kinnakeet Shores amenities membership, providing easy access to the oceanfront and soundside trails and beaches, an Olympic-size pool, kiddie pool, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness trails, and stocked freshwater lakes. All homes in Kinnakeet Villas are deeded to prohibit short-term rentals of less than 30 days, creating a true residential setting with a stronger sense of community and year-round neighborhood feel. Come see for yourself - we’re putting the neighbor back in neighborhood. *Tax bill has not been generated in the Dare County system yet.*
