With the influx of young families and retired boomers into Southern Shores, a home offering single level living is a hot item AND difficult to find.  It is an even bigger challenge to find one that is in great condition because it was well maintained and enjoyed as a primary residence by the original owner and her children.  

In the beach landscape there are thousands of homes on pilings, many with reverse floor plans that are not suitable for everyone. 

Here is the perfect alternative to the 2 and 3 story homes.  59 S Dogwood Trail offers the very best in "all on one floor" homes.

You can live on one floor and recreate on the other without using traditional stairs. When you walk in the front door you enter the level with all the living, cooking, dining and sleeping space.  Enter the house from the gorgeous back yard thru the patio doors to find 2 large bonus rooms and a walk-in Utility Room.  

Plus so much more.  Lots of Anderson windows let in the light!  Natural oak  floors are marvelous. Big picture windows in the living room overlook the deep back yard and the water.  There is a "just painted" kitchen (2014) with a new Whirlpool stove and a Whirlpool range hood that looks like a designer piece in an upscale showplace.  The Maytag dishwasher and the Kenmore refrigerator were installed in 2010. Butcher block laminate counters and portable island give this room a warm, friendly patina while the big window and ample counter space are a joy for any family chef.  Oh, and a large pantry too! 

Off the kitchen is a fully functional laundry room with newer washer and dryer purchased within the last 4 years, a laundry folding area and lots of shelving, not to mention the separate freezer.  This room opens to the side deck and the kitchen. 

A lovely sunroom is adjacent to the kitchen on the southwest side of the house, great for afternoon light.

The gorgeous wood burning brick fireplace with it’s exposed brick chimney is the central focus of the living room.  But wait!  Look up!  There is a magnificent wood carved, vaulted beamed ceiling!  One rarely sees that workmanship today.   In short, this is a most delightful living space. 

Two bedrooms are down the hall, a queen room with a large bath that also opens to the hall and the Master Suite with a very light and lovely bath of its own.  The Master currently has a King Size bed.  The Master suite opens to the back yard patio through sliding glass doors and has water views!

You can reach the lower level via a staircase located at one end of the living room, or exit the front door to walk around to the back of the house to enter without using any stairs!  Here you find an oversized utility room housing the hot water heater and storage at the south end and two large bonus rooms.  These two rooms are separated by the staircase and a small sitting area.  This lower level was built with permits and was completely redone in 2011-2012.  There are many large closets and storage areas on both levels of the house.

The expansive back yard stretches to a pond, right next to Ginguite Creek with a sound view to the northwest.  You can see the water from the house and the decks.  Mature trees add to the natural beauty even though the yard is level and landscaped.  There is an outdoor shower too 

Across Dogwood Trail is the Duck Woods Country Club with it's well known golf course, creating a pretty view from the front of the house.  The home is zoned by two Trane heat pumps that are still in their 10 year warranty.

A voluntary fee of $50 helps maintain the parking lots and beach access crossovers, the 3 marinas, a large park with basketball half court, soccer field and picnic tables, two unlit tennis courts and much more.  See associated docs for all details.

Come see 59 S Dogwood Trail!  You will be surprised!  And delighted!
