About this property
Peaceful on the Albermarle Sound
About this space
Beautiful 1800 sq ft house on 2 1/2 acres on the water at the end of a dead end street. Want seclusion and watch a beautiful sunset every evening? This is the place for you! Enjoy your morning coffee on your private dock. Little warm? Sit in the huge air conditioned sunroom overlooking the beautiful Albemarle Sound, or sit for hours under the cool pines on a swing for just you and your sweetie. Feeling adventurous? Check out the neighborhood on the electric golf cart or launch the canoe.
The space
We are the new owner’s of this magical space on the water! When you arrive you will be met with expansive views of the sound all for your enjoyment. Please see recent review below when we purchased from Glenn. We saw the magic and once we convinced Glenn we would take great care of this gem he was more than happy to find time to travel. He loved this space for 15 years and we intend to love it like he did.
From a recent review: "There are a few places that get in one's soul that you can't imagine not coming back, and Glenn's is one of them. We had to evacuate the outer Banks due to hurricane and we were not ready to cut a long awaited vacation short, so we went to plan "B" and went inland but with water. The sheer beauty of the unobstructed views of the sound and the comfort of the home cannot be overstated. The house is so well situated to take advantage of the view with great deck and dock with plenty of seating. We caught enough crabs to feed 5 and ate at his outdoor table under the trees. The sound is pristine and we spent the day just floating in the calm water, viewing a heron, a white egret, lots of Hawks, and a bald eagle! My husband took out the canoe and caught a few fish, (released). The kitchen is great for cooking for a group, with very nice appliances and well-appointed. The home is very Serene and comfortable with huge master bedroom...all was spotless. Plan B will become plan A!"
Guest access
You will have full access to the house and detached garage where the golf cart, gas grill, yard furniture, tiki torches, corn hole boards, giant Jenga, horseshoes, badminton, golf clubs, and croquet are kept. Two hammocks for your use under the pines or on the dock or both. Large canoe for adventures by sea. Full kitchen with all the amenities.
Other things to note
Do you like seafood? Being here is the perfect place for a seafood boil or peel and eat shrimp. Plan on bringing some Old Bay and shrimp. The dock just calls for shrimp to be eaten on it. Please remember the closest grocery store is 20 minutes away. On your way to the house is a Super Wal Mart in Elizabeth City which is a good stop to buy supplies. We do have spices, butter, olive oil, etc for your cooking needs. We will have info at the house for you about local restaurants, shopping and sightseeing.
