Property Description
Perched high on a hill in Kitty Hawk's desirable Sea Scape community, 4901 Palmer Drive offers a rare combination of elevation, privacy, outdoor living, and comfortable coastal living. Located in one of the highest elevations in the area, the property is in an X Flood Zone and enjoys a peaceful setting along a quiet street that winds through the Sea Scape golf community. Just a short drive from the beach and public beach accesses, and conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, and all that the Outer Banks has to offer, this is an ideal home for a year-round resident or a second-home owner looking for a true coastal getaway. The home has also been owner occupied as a personal residence and offers flexibility for a future owner who may wish to utilize it as a short-term rental. The main living level is warm and inviting, with an open kitchen, dining, and living area designed for both everyday living and gathering with family and friends. New engineered hardwood flooring extends throughout the main living spaces, complementing the comfortable coastal feel of the home. The spacious living room offers plenty of natural light and features a working wood stove, creating an especially cozy atmosphere during the cooler months. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops and a tile backsplash, providing a fresh and functional space for preparing meals and entertaining. Down the hall are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One of the bathrooms has been recently renovated with beautiful tile flooring, a new vanity with marble countertops, and a tub/shower finished with attractive Italian marble subway tile on the walls and ceiling. The outdoor spaces are truly one of the property's defining features. The home offers an exceptional collection of decks, gathering areas, and spaces to enjoy the coastal climate throughout the year. Just outside the main living level is a large deck with comfortable seating and a dining area, creating an ideal spot for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, or an evening meal. Continue up the exterior stairs to the expansive rooftop deck, where you can take in a pleasant ocean view and enjoy a front-row seat for sunrise—a wonderful place to start the day on the Outer Banks. Below the home is an impressive outdoor living and entertaining area that adds another dimension to the property. With comfortable lounge seating, a bar area, grilling space, and picnic table, it is an inviting place to spend time with friends and family. An outdoor shower is also conveniently located underneath the home. The covered setting provides shade and comfortable breezes in the summer while offering a great place to gather when the temperatures are cooler. It is the kind of space that naturally becomes the center of outdoor life at the beach. The large backyard is another standout feature. Fully fenced and surrounded by mature live oak trees, it offers an unusual combination of privacy, space, and flexibility. There is plenty of room for children and dogs to play, along with a fire-pit for evenings spent outdoors. The generous lot and mature landscaping give the property a sense of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find, while the home's elevated position adds to its unique character and appeal. The ground level provides substantial utility with a large garage and a heated and cooled bonus room currently used as a workout room and storage area. An additional mini-split system serves this space, making it useful for a variety of future needs—whether as a home gym, hobby area, workshop, storage, or additional flex space.
The home has benefited from numerous updates and improvements in recent years, including a new roof, new decking, new engineered hardwood flooring, exterior paint, HVAC improvements, bathroom renovations, and routine maintenance and servicing. The result is a well-maintained home that offers the next owner a comfortable, move-in-ready starting point while still allowing room
