Here’s a rare type of gem that you don’t often see on the market: the timeless charm of an old-style, solidly built beach cottage, with up-to-date upgrades. “Just Wright” is a five-bedroom, two-bath duplex with a large, landscaped lot on a quiet residential cul-de-sac. Both apartments have private entrances and are completely separate from one another, aside from the shared yard. There’s ample parking for guests. The first-floor living area, “Orville,” has a living room with an electric fireplace, a new gourmet-friendly kitchen with granite countertops, plenty of storage, gas range, pantry, and stainless appliances. Adjacent to the living room is a queen bedroom, cocooned with the warmth of knotty pine on the walls and ceiling. Two closets provide plenty of storage. Adjacent to the queen bedroom, an office, with built-in bookshelves, could double as a cozy nursery. Next to the kitchen is the second queen bedroom with a storage closet. This bedroom opens onto a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, and a full bath with a huge, tiled shower. The bathroom is accessible from both bedrooms. While the first floor is more modern, the second level retains the warmth and nostalgia reminiscent of classic Southern Shores beach cottages. Each room surrounds you with the warmth of honeyed wood on walls, ceilings, and floors. The kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms are tiled, while the king bedroom is carpeted. A second-floor deck spans the front of the house facing east where one can enjoy spectacular sun rises and mesmerizing moon rises. This deck provides front access to the upper living area, “Wilbur.” A spacious living room with a beamed ceiling includes a dining peninsula that defines the kitchen, complete with stainless appliances, a double sink, and plenty of storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry area with a full-size washer and dryer, plus additional storage. There is an enclosed porch and a back staircase. On one side of the living room are two bedrooms, each large enough for a queen-size bed, and each with closets. On the other side of the living room, a hallway leads you to a spacious, king bedroom with lush carpeting and two closets. Across the hall is a full bath with large, tiled shower. The property includes a storage shed on a concrete slab, equipped with electricity, two walls of shelving, and an industrial air-conditioning unit. It’s an ideal building for a studio, workshop, or pottery space. This property has OPTIONS! It’s perfect as an INVESTMENT PROPERTY, a PRIMARY RESIDENCE with income-producing potential in one of the two units, or a RENOVATION/EXPANSION to return to a single-family property, possibly with the addition of a third level providing ocean views. This thoughtfully updated home blends modern amenities with the nostalgic warmth of an early beach house, creating a private sanctuary nestled in lush landscaping and towering cypress trees. The property backs up to land owned by the Chicahauk Property Owners Association, providing an additional serene buffer surrounded by majestic live oaks. The home is just a 5-10 minute walk to the beach, and a short walk to local favorites like Kitty Hawk Pier, Steamers Seafood, Southern Shores Pizza & Deli, Crumbl Cookies, Shore Coffee Roasters, and the newly renovated Rundown Cafe. Ownership in the Southern Shores Civic Association (SSCA) offers exclusive access to 33 well-maintained beach access walkways and dune crossovers. Members also enjoy access to three marinas, tennis courts, and several parks, including Soundview Park and Sea Oats Park. The greater Outer Banks area is rich with attractions, from scenic nature trails and championship golf courses to vibrant local dining and entertainment options, making this location a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. “Just Wright” “Orville” and “Wilbur” are featured on Airbnb with high guest ratings, averaging 4.9 out of 5.

Passion, combined with a “make it happen” work ethic, Ray welcomes the opportunity to assist you with all your real estate needs and in finding you the perfect home on the Outer Banks! With deep roots in Northeast North Carolina, Ray grew up working and vacationing on the Outer Banks. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill and The Ohio State University, Ray came full circle through California, Vermont, and ultimately back home to North Carolina. He set his sights on fulfilling a lifelong dream of making the Outer Banks his permanent home and moved to Southern Shores where he is now “living the dream." A world traveler with a successful career in marketing, business development, and sales, Ray joined Twiddy & Company in 2015 to spearhead the newly created Premier Home Services program for luxury oceanfront rental properties. He now brings forward that same passion, invaluable experience, and depth of regional knowledge as a member of the Twiddy and Company Premier Sales Team. Clients consistently comment on Ray’s positivity, attentiveness, and support throughout the entire process and long after the deals have closed. On the rare day on which you don't find Ray working, you might find him relaxing with his family and Huey the hound dog, paddling a kayak down the canals, chilling with a good book on the beach, biking through the maritime forest or tickling the ivories of his grand piano.
