Stylish Oceanfront 70s A-Frame, Fully Renovated

*We now provide sheets and towels!*

Stylish, relaxing and private, step back in time at the Old Bach, an oceanfront 1975 trapezoidal A-frame, overlooking the massive double dune of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Inspired by Chris's childhood summers in New Zealand at his family's bach (a rustic beach cottage, pronounced batch), we recently gut-renovated and completely modernized the house, while maintaining the original charm and character. The Old Bach is situated on a large, private oceanfront lot at the end of a quiet, private street. There is off-street parking for 3-4 vehicles, including the carport under the house.

Our recent renovation involved flipping the floor plan to create a large, open living area on the top floor, with a full kitchen, dining banquette, and comfortable living room with a large flat-screen smart TV. The living room opens to an enormous deck and pergola complete with a dining table and a comfortable sectional. From the deck you can glimpse the ocean between the dunes.

Downstairs, the staircase is open to the front hall and the cozy TV room, with another large flat-screen smart TV. There are two queen bedrooms on this level, as well as a stacking washer and dryer, a full bath with a corner shower, and the primary suite. Located in what was originally a large covered porch, the primary bedroom and bathroom are surrounded by windows. The en-suite primary bathroom features an extra large soaking tub with a shower, and a toilet with a bidet attachment.

The house features all new plumbing, electric, appliances, flooring, HVAC, kitchen, bathrooms, and paint. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and premium natural stone quartzite countertops. Both bathrooms have terrazzo floor tiles, handmade wall tiles, and oak console vanities with cast concrete basins.

There is a shady deck with a hammock under the house, as well as two outdoor showers: an open shower where the beach path meets the house, and a private double shower with a changing area. The beach is accessed by a trail leading through the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and over the dunes to the pristine beach.

There are several good restaurants and small markets within walking distance. A larger supermarket is available in nearby Avon to the south, or Nags Head to the north.

We recently purchased The Old Bach and renovated it together as a labor of love. It is our pleasure to share it with you, but we are looking for discerning guests who value privacy, well-designed spaces, and mutual respect.
