Welcome to Running on Faith, a beautifully appointed oceanfront home where refined coastal style meets the extraordinary setting of Carova’s 4x4 beach. Set along a stretch of wide shoreline at Milepost 22, this four-bedroom, four-and-one-half-bath home offers the privacy, views, and relaxed luxury that make this part of the Outer Banks so special.
Built in 2014 and thoughtfully positioned near the center of the lot, the home is buffered from the Atlantic by a substantial, naturally growing dune. A private boardwalk leads from the home to the dune, with the beach and shore just beyond, creating an easy connection to the ocean while preserving a sense of privacy.
Inside, the reverse floor plan makes the most of the setting. The top level opens into a light-filled great room, dining area, and beautifully finished kitchen, with ocean views and expansive windows bringing the landscape indoors. The kitchen is designed for gathering, with granite countertops, a generous breakfast bar, a 36" chef-style gas cooktop, and separate oven. An electric fireplace with year-round ambient flame display anchors the living space.
Also on the top floor, the spacious master suite enjoys ocean views and direct deck access. Decks wrap the east, west, and south sides of the home, offering multiple places to enjoy ocean breezes, morning light, and evening sunsets.
The level below offers three additional bedrooms: king ensuite, queen ensuite, and a bunk room, along with a sitting room and laundry. With 2,377 square feet of heated living space, the thoughtful layout provides comfortable separation for family and guests while keeping the home connected and inviting.
At ground level, a dry entry from the carport includes an ice machine and additional refrigerator, adding everyday convenience for beach days and entertaining. Outside, a fenced private pool sits between the house and dune, accompanied by a hot tub and outdoor shower.
Running on Faith has been exceptionally well maintained, and its interiors strike a rare balance: polished enough to feel special, yet comfortable enough to immediately feel like home. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint throughout, two full-size refrigerators, a dry-entry ice maker, hot tub, and tankless gas water heater. The property is offered furnished with limited exclusions and has an established vacation rental history, providing flexibility as a private second home, investment property, or a combination of both.
Located in Flood Zone X, the home offers true oceanfront ownership in one of Carova’s most remarkable settings - where the road is the beach, the Atlantic is just beyond the dune, and the wild horses are still part of the neighborhood.
