Welcome to 304 Deer Trail, a pristine coastal gem in the heart of Emerald Isle, North Carolina, where island living meets endless possibilities. Built in 2011, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-story retreat spans 912 square feet, offering a smartly designed split floorplan that balances privacy and comfort. Nestled high on a bluff along a private dead-end road in a golf cart-friendly neighborhood, this home delivers serenity and convenience—just a quick ride to the powdery beaches of the Atlantic Ocean or the tranquil Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW). Inside, the open-concept living space feels both cozy and welcoming, with a seamless flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Sunlight streams through large windows, illuminating the home's good condition and neutral coastal tones. The kitchen, updated in 2024 with a new refrigerator and vent hood, features ample storage and modern appliances in a compact, efficient layout—ideal for preparing beachside meals or entertaining guests. The primary bedroom offers a peaceful escape with generous closet space and an en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom, tucked on the opposite side, adapts easily as a guest room, office, or pet-friendly nook (yes, there are no pet restrictions here!). Both bathrooms boast contemporary finishes, reflecting the home's meticulous care and move-in-ready appeal. Recent upgrades enhance the property's value: a new roof from August 2023 ensures durability, and 2024 appliance updates add modern flair. While currently on a non-permanent foundation, the seller is willing to install a permanent one with an accepted offer, opening doors to VA or FHA financing—a boon for buyers or investors. With no HOA fees or rules, and no pet restrictions, you're free to make this home your own, whether as a full-time residence, a furry-friend haven, or a lucrative investment. Speaking of investments, 304 Deer Trail is a short-term rental goldmine. Offered mostly furnished.
