Five lots from the ocean and finished in 2025, 26210 Merrimac Lane Unit 46 is a contemporary coastal home built for both lively summer rentals and relaxed year-round living. The moment you step onto the covered entry deck you’ll notice the cathedral ceilings and open main level that make the 2,040-square-foot plan feel airy yet comfortable. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the living areas, and large sliding doors connect the great room to wrap decks that overlook the private in-ground fiberglass pool—ideal for after-beach dips and evening gatherings.
The kitchen is a practical, modern center of activity: quartz countertops, stainless-steel GE appliances, and an efficient layout that supports both quick breakfasts and full family meals. An open dining area sits adjacent to the living room beneath vaulted ceilings, giving sightlines across the pool area and toward the raised deck. Five bedrooms and three full baths plus a guest half-bath provide flexible sleeping arrangements for family, friends, or rental guests; the floorplan balances privacy with shared spaces for entertaining.
Outside, the property’s 0.23-acre lot is level and thoughtfully planned—multiple decks step down toward the pool, with paved off-street parking and a carport for easy arrival and gear storage. Utilities reflect coastal practicality: municipal water, septic system, central heat pump, and central air. The home’s durable roof and frame construction were completed with vacation durability in mind, and the low-maintenance finishes support a hands-off rental operation if desired.
Location is the defining feature: situated in Hatteras Colony, the home sits five lots from direct beach access and is within a short walk or quick bike ride to REAL Watersports (0.5 mi) and the Salvo Day Use Area (0.7 mi). Waves Market & Deli is about 1.2 miles away for essentials, while Avon Pier is reachable for longer outings. With a projected rental estimate near $5,000/month in peak season and strong comparable sales nearby, this home presents a turnkey Outer Banks opportunity for owners seeking a high-quality new construction with private pool, beach proximity, and modern finishes.
