1277 N Lake Ct Lot 74, Corolla, NC 27927

This refined coastal residence in the Village at Ocean Hill delivers generous scale, thoughtful details and rare estuary adjacency — all within striking distance of Corolla’s beaches and historic attractions. Spread over three thoughtfully arranged levels, the home offers 3,467 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and four baths appointed for both entertaining and private retreats.

Upstairs, an open-concept living area centers on a chef-style kitchen adjacent to dining and living spaces that flow to a screened porch and sun deck — ideal for evening gatherings with protected views over the estuarine preserve. A flexible guest space or studio completes the top level for out-of-town friends or a quiet workspace. The mid-level includes two en-suite bedrooms plus an additional bedroom and a capacious den that features a mini kitchen and high-top seating — perfect as a bunk/rec room or second living area for multi-family use. The ground level provides a large bedroom/media room, abundant storage, exterior workspace and direct access to a rear yard that has been cleared and prepared for potential pool installation.

Practical coastal features include 2x6 exterior framing, an outdoor shower, updated flooring on the lower level and stairs, and a crow's nest rooftop deck built for sunset watching. The layout affords easy conversion of the ground-level spaces into additional sleeping suites or expanded living areas if desired. The seller reports the home has never been rented and has been meticulously maintained — an attractive attribute for buyers seeking turnkey ownership.

An adjacent lot is available for purchase, offering an uncommon opportunity to increase privacy or create a compound-style property. Community amenities include oceanfront and lakeside pools (modest community fees reported). Whether you're searching for an owner's retreat, extended-family compound, or a high-appeal vacation rental subject to local rules, this property pairs scale and condition with desirable coastal location.

Village at Ocean Hill is a mature coastal community in northern Corolla characterized by elevated single-family homes, quiet streets and pockets of preserved natural land. Residents enjoy proximity to beaches, local dining, and historic sites like the Whalehead Club, while many properties benefit from direct views or adjacency to protected estuarine areas. The neighborhood is popular with second-home buyers and retirees seeking low-density surroundings with convenient seasonal amenities.
