Tucked into the sought-after community of Southern Shores, this beautifully maintained cottage offers the ease of one-level living in a setting that feels both private and incredibly convenient. Surrounded by mature hardwood trees and lush landscaping, the home features a custom pool with waterfall, fenced yard with irrigation, and a peaceful backyard retreat that’s close to the beach yet removed from the bustle of everyday life. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout an open, light-filled living area with high ceilings, skylight, and gas fireplace. The custom kitchen is thoughtfully designed with granite countertops, gas range with electric oven, built-in refrigerator, pantry, and cabinetry that maximizes both space and function. The primary suite includes a custom tiled bath with a beautifully finished shower and direct access to a large, private screened porch overlooking the pool and waterfall. A second bedroom offers wood floors and access to a full custom bath with marble flooring and upgraded vanity, while a private office and den enjoy serene backyard views. The detached 24’ x 30’ two-car garage includes built-in shelving, a full bath, abundant storage, and a large finished room above—heated and cooled and permitted as a bedroom—ideal for guests, recreation, or a separate office. A custom storage shed with multiple access doors supports easy pool maintenance. 27 Juniper Trail has no mandatory homeowners association and is part of the highly regarded Southern Shores Civic Association, which provides access to 33 beach access points, three marinas, a soundfront park with sunset views, tennis and pickleball courts, and a children’s playground. Optional memberships to the SSCA boat and racquet clubs are also available. Ideally located near the Southern Shores Marketplace, Home Depot, Walmart, and Harris Teeter—yet offering a quiet, private setting—this home is also just around the corner from Duck Woods Country Club and the highly rated Kitty Hawk Elementary School, making it an exceptional option for a primary residence or second home in one of the Outer Banks’ most desirable communities.
