About this home
Nestled beneath the canopy of Emerald Isle's beautiful live oak maritime forest, this one-owner custom-built coastal retreat offers the rare combination of privacy, tranquility, and effortless access to both the sound and the ocean. Tucked away on quiet Timber Trail, often considered one of Emerald Isle's hidden gems, this soundside home places you just around the corner from public sound access and only a short walk to the beach access at the end of 13th Street. Surrounded by natural beauty and positioned well above the flood plain, this property embodies the very best of carefree coastal living with no HOA fees, mature maritime tree cover, and easy access to boating, kayaking, biking and the beach. A public boat ramp is located at the end of the street, while the nearby beach access even offers golf cart parking for added convenience. Designed for gathering and entertaining, the heart of the home is the expansive third-floor living area where natural light pours throughout the open-concept design. Beautiful hardwood flooring flows through the main living spaces and both interior staircases, adding warmth and timeless coastal character. The spacious living room with gas log fireplace seamlessly connects to the dining area and kitchen, creating the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends. The standout 10x14 screened porch and adjoining grilling deck extend the living space outdoors, while completely rebuilt decks on both the sound side and ocean side offer multiple places to relax and unwind. Sip your morning coffee while listening to the calming sound of ocean waves, then enjoy breathtaking Eastern North Carolina sunsets through the maritime forest from the screened porch in the evening. The second level offers a private primary ensuite retreat along with two additional bedrooms and another full bath, creating an ideal layout for guests, family living, or multigenerational flexibility. An additional bedroom and full bath on the main living level provide even more convenience and versatility.
