Treat your friends and family to this mid-century architectural gem and savor striking vistas of pristine beach and the namesake waters of the Crystal Coast. With so many amenities, including a screened-in porch, outdoor shower, and other thoughtful, practical details, you will have everything you need while you rest and relax the days away on your hideaway! The home features striking architectural elements like wood-paneled ceilings, exposed beams and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the Atlantic Ocean to your doorstep. After beach walks and swimming, appreciate calming in the comfortable living room or chatting with your travel companions on the upper-level patio and screened-in dining porch—the ideal perch year-round for taking in sunrises and sunsets in fiery hues, sipping coffee and watching sea life, or toasting with a glass of champagne. The entirely-equipped Heckman House features five bedrooms and three bathrooms, sleeping 10-14, including close and extended family and friends. The layout makes gathering as a group simple with bright, open, well-appointed spaces, including a roomy kitchen, dining room and living area with a game table. The dining table extends with an additional leaf to accommodate more guests! On your way up from the beach, enjoy a private enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower amid the sounds of seagulls and roaring surf. The primary bedroom features a king bed and the same dramatic ocean view on show in the cavernous living area. Even the window in the en suite master bath offers the ideal picture of the Atlantic Ocean, with the dunes and the waves to watch. Four additional guest bedrooms offer a variety of options for sleeping; a queen in one, a double bed in another, two doubles and two twins, and another ocean-view king just steps from the sand.
A Location to Appreciate
The home is located in the charming Pine Knoll Shores neighborhood of Pine Knoll Shores, on Dogwood Circle, known for jaw-dropping ocean vistas. Located on a pristine stretch of the Carolina coast between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle amid a heavenly combination of maritime forest located between the Atlantic Ocean and the sound, this spot is the best of both worlds with privacy and accessibility, with so much to do close by. Spend time at this incredibly cozy 2800 sq ft beach home and enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing and building sand castles ’til dark. Head to Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, close by Morehead City or historic downtown Beaufort and enjoy everything from pirate tours to ferry cruises, Fort Macon and the NC Aquarium. Shop, discover and dine in a variety of cafes and eateries. This beloved home, with its unmatched location, is the ideal spot for your Crystal Coast holiday!
