Description

If you’ve been searching for privacy, character, and oceanfront living without the crowds, The Old Bach delivers in a way that’s hard to find. Tucked away at the end of a quiet, private street with no public beach access, this property offers a peaceful, tucked-away feel that’s rare along the oceanfront. Many of the neighboring homes are full-time residences, adding to the sense of community. Located in an X flood zone, the home does not require flood insurance, which is an added bonus for owners. Originally built in 1975, this unique trapezoidal A-frame overlooks the expansive double dune of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, offering both natural protection and a beautiful, ever-changing backdrop. The home has been thoughtfully reimagined to capture the feel of a simple, relaxed beach cottage while blending in modern updates throughout. Taken down to the studs and completely renovated in 2022 and 2023, the home has been redesigned with a flipped floor plan that makes the most of the views and natural light. The top level now features an open living, dining, and kitchen area with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a clean, modern coastal style with subtle mid-century influence. The kitchen is finished with stainless steel appliances and quartzite countertops, and the space opens out to a large deck and pergola — a perfect spot to take in the ocean views over the dunes. The mid level offers a second living space, along with three bedrooms, including a primary suite surrounded by windows that bring in natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. The primary bath features a soaking tub with shower, while both bathrooms have been beautifully finished with terrazzo tile floors, handmade wall tiles, and custom oak vanities with concrete basins. Nearly everything in the home has been replaced or upgraded, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, flooring, kitchen, and baths, giving you the feel of a newer home while still preserving its original character. Outside, the setting continues to stand out. The property offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles, covered space under the home, and inviting outdoor areas including a shaded deck with a hammock and two outdoor showers. A private path leads you through the natural dunes of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore to a wide, uncrowded stretch of beach perfect for fishing, shelling, or simply enjoying the quiet. The lot has also been thoughtfully landscaped with native dune grasses and wildflowers, designed to reflect the surrounding environment while keeping maintenance low. As it continues to grow in, it will only add to the natural beauty and privacy of the property. Located in the heart of the Tri Villages, you’re close to some of the best kiteboarding, windsurfing, and soundside access on the East Coast, along with local favorites like the Salvo Day Use Area, Rodanthe Pier, Good Winds, and Waterman’s. If you’ve been looking for something a little different, with character, privacy, and meaningful updates, The Old Bach is one you won’t want to miss. I
