Ranch-Style 4BR/3BA on the 9th Hole of Carolina Club
What strikes you first at 118 Charleston Drive is the ease of single-level living with thoughtful extras — a modern ranch footprint with golf-course frontage that shapes every outdoor view. This 2018-built home sits directly along the 9th hole of the Carolina Club Golf Course, and the back of the house gently steps down to a screened-in porch and dual side decks where the manicured fairway becomes the backyard horizon. The lot (nearly half an acre) is fully fenced and backed by a mature tree buffer, offering both privacy and room for outdoor life.
Inside, the 1,941 square feet are arranged for everyday comfort and occasional company. The main living area opens onto the kitchen and dining zone, creating a relaxed environment for gathering without sacrificing separation for quiet moments. The primary suite includes a private full bath; a second and third bedroom plus a full bath serve family or guests. The home’s fourth bedroom is the Finished Room Over Garage (FROG) with its own full bath — ideal as a primary guest suite, home office, or in-law space.
Systems and finishes are aligned with modern expectations: central air with an electric heat pump, an asphalt roof, public water and septic service, and an attached two-car garage plus driveway parking for visitors. The condition is listed as excellent, reflecting care since the 2019 purchase.
Beyond the property lines, Carolina Club residents enjoy on-site lifestyle amenities: community pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, boat slips, and of course immediate access to the golf course. The Currituck Sound is roughly two miles away for boating and sunsets, and the Outer Banks beaches are an easy drive when you want coastal access. With proximity to Caratoke Highway and an approachable commute to Virginia, this home balances a quiet golf-community setting with regional accessibility.

A factual market snapshot around 118 Charleston Dr Lot 190.
Local market metrics indicate a balanced to slightly seller-leaning environment for single-family homes in the Carolina Club corridor. Inventory sits at roughly three months, a pace that typically favors sellers for well-priced, move-in-ready homes; average days on market near 45 days suggests a measured sales cadence rather than a frenzied market. Median sale prices in the area hover around $450,000 with one-year appreciation near 5% and five-year gains approximating 25% — evidence of steady demand, particularly for properties with golf-course frontage and community amenities. Comparable recent sales inside Carolina Club (e.g., mid-$400k to low-$600k transactions) show buyers are willing to pay a premium for views, larger lots, and turnkey condition. For buyers, today’s combination of moderate inventory and stable appreciation makes this a reasonable window to secure lifestyle-oriented properties before any seasonal upticks; for sellers, properly staging and pricing to reflect the golf-front advantage and community access will help achieve competitive offers.
