About this home

A turnkey 1.3-acre property with the space, garages, porches and privacy buyers keep looking farther out to find--yet this is just across the Virginia line. The 1,707 finished sf is only part of what this property delivers: a 528sf partially finished FROG, 720sf Master Steel detached garage/workshop and 418sf of Trex-decked covered porches w/new ceiling fans add exceptional usable space beyond the main living area. Tucked back off the end of a quiet road, the setting is open, private and exceptionally well kept, with room for boats, equipment, hobbies, entertaining and simply spreading out. A huge covered front porch welcomes you to an airy foyer, where transom windows above the entry doors, integrated blinds, high ceilings, new carpet and abundant natural light set a tone for a home that feels spacious from the moment you enter. The great room flows naturally into the dining and kitchen areas. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features a gas cooktop, beautiful backsplash, a coffee bar, Bosch, and a built-in pantry. Exit doors from both the great room and kitchen open directly to the full-length covered rear Trex deck. The split-bedroom design places the primary suite privately on the opposite side of the home from the secondary bedrooms. A tray ceiling adds architectural interest, while his-and-her walk-in closets, and a separate soaking tub complete the suite. There's considerably more beyond the living area. The attached garage is finished with painted walls and floor plus a convenient side exit. Above it, the FROG is partially finished, giving the next owner a head start for future living space. The Master Steel detached garage/workshop provides substantial room for a boat, equipment, projects, and the gear. Add an RV/generator hookup, outdoor shower, expansive usable yard and the advantage of being outside the flood zone. This is a thoughtfully improved, move-in-ready property offering the land, garage and workshop space, outdoor living and breathing room that can be difficult to find this close to Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.

KNOTTS ISLAND NC and the Knotts Island real estate market

Knotts Island is a quiet, water-oriented community in North Carolina's Outer Banks region. The island lifestyle brings slower pace and natural beauty—marshes, maritime heritage, and a tight-knit feel. Homes here tend to be modest, well-maintained, and focused on access to water and outdoor life. Getting around means a short drive to the bridge that connects you to the mainland. From there, you're about 37 minutes to NSA Northwest Annex and roughly 41 minutes to Dam Neck Annex. The nearest towns with groceries and services are a 15–20 minute drive. It's the kind of setting where you trade suburban hustle for genuine quiet.

What's nearby

The Knotts Island General Store is a few minutes away for essentials and local flavor. Boat ramps and water access dot the island—ideal if you fish or enjoy kayaking. The Currituck National Wildlife Refuge is nearby for hiking and wildlife viewing. A pharmacy and small medical clinic are a short drive across the bridge on the mainland. Restaurants and larger shopping are in Elizabeth City, about 20 minutes away.
