740 Mariner Dr, Corolla, NC 27927

740 Mariner Drive is the perfect island setting just a moment's walk to the Ocean Sands beach! This special property offers space, views of the ocean, easy beach access just 200 yards away, and a short bike ride to shops, dining and entertainment. The impeccably maintained home was designed with an open floor plan with living spaces that spill onto the covered porch and the main level sun deck. The combination of spaces is an ideal configuration for families and friends to gather while enjoying private space. Enter from a carport to a mudroom/laundry connecting to a huge storage space, or continue around to the outdoor shower area. The mid-level starts with a lovely foyer entry, one King bedroom with covered deck access, two other bedrooms, and an updated hall bath. On the top level, guests will gather in the east-facing, light-filled living room with laminate hickory floors and a fireplace with new granite surround. Doors lead to the spacious sun deck or continue to the dining area and gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, new fixtures, granite counters and tile back splash. Finally a bedroom and updated bathroom complete the upstairs. The original owners have loved this seaside home, maintaining it perfectly since its construction. The exterior hardiplank was replaced in 2011, a new roof installed in 2010, new HVAC in 2013, all the exterior pickets and rails are painted, the exterior stairs are Trex, and garden landscaping has been perfected each year. Owners believe there is room for a pool in the backyard.
