Peaceful on the Albermarle Sound

About this space

Beautiful 1800 sq ft house on 2 1/2 acres on the water at the end of a dead end street. Want seclusion and watch a beautiful sunset every evening? This is the place for you! Enjoy your morning coffee on your private dock. Little warm? Sit in the huge air conditioned sunroom overlooking the beautiful Albemarle Sound, or sit for hours under the cool pines on a swing for just you and your sweetie. Feeling adventurous? Check out the neighborhood on the electric golf cart or launch the canoe.



The space

We are the new owner’s of this magical space on the water! When you arrive you will be met with expansive views of the sound all for your enjoyment. Please see recent review below when we purchased from Glenn. We saw the magic and once we convinced Glenn we would take great care of this gem he was more than happy to find time to travel. He loved this space for 15 years and we intend to love it like he did.



From a recent review: "There are a few places that get in one's soul that you can't imagine not coming back, and Glenn's is one of them. We had to evacuate the outer Banks due to hurricane and we were not ready to cut a long awaited vacation short, so we went to plan "B" and went inland but with water. The sheer beauty of the unobstructed views of the sound and the comfort of the home cannot be overstated. The house is so well situated to take advantage of the view with great deck and dock with plenty of seating. We caught enough crabs to feed 5 and ate at his outdoor table under the trees. The sound is pristine and we spent the day just floating in the calm water, viewing a heron, a white egret, lots of Hawks, and a bald eagle! My husband took out the canoe and caught a few fish, (released). The kitchen is great for cooking for a group, with very nice appliances and well-appointed. The home is very Serene and comfortable with huge master bedroom...all was spotless. Plan B will become plan A!"



Guest access

You will have full access to the house and detached garage where the golf cart, gas grill, yard furniture, tiki torches, corn hole boards, giant Jenga, horseshoes, badminton, golf clubs, and croquet are kept. Two hammocks for your use under the pines or on the dock or both. Large canoe for adventures by sea. Full kitchen with all the amenities.

Other things to note

Do you like seafood? Being here is the perfect place for a seafood boil or peel and eat shrimp. Plan on bringing some Old Bay and shrimp. The dock just calls for shrimp to be eaten on it. Please remember the closest grocery store is 20 minutes away. On your way to the house is a Super Wal Mart in Elizabeth City which is a good stop to buy supplies. We do have spices, butter, olive oil, etc for your cooking needs. We will have info at the house for you about local restaurants, shopping and sightseeing.

We were in town for a family wedding and stayed a couple extra days. The house was perfect, clean, and had everything we needed and more. We had fun driving the golf cart around the neighborhood, hitting golf balls, playing corn hole and enjoying the spectacular view. Overall fantastic stay! Thank you for sharing your home!!

The view was amazing. The house was VERY well stocked and clean. The golf cart was a neat addition. Our kids enjoyed riding on it. Would have been a great spot to fish but we ran out of time. Great house for family fun. So much yard space.

This home is better than the pictures
This was such a peaceful and relaxing week for us. The house is great with everything you can think of, plus lots of indoor and outdoor games. The golf cart was so fun to take cruise around the little neighborhood. The house was clean; beds comfortable; kitchen is well stocked, and we loved the sun room. I can only say good things about this place, and it really is nicer than the pictures. Also great sunset views.

GREAT LOCATION AND GREAT TIME!
The property was very clean and well kept, fully stocked with the essentials you could need. And there is nothing else to say about the property other than absolutely great. The views are wonderful and very peaceful place to just kick back and relax with no hustle and bustle or stress. Caught way too many crab to even count and a day trip to the OBX is perfect. You have something you should be very proud of, loved the entire stay and everything about it especially the sunsets, outstanding!

relaxing, beautiful location
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was well outfitted, clean and even nicer than depicted on the listing. It was especially nice that the kitchen was stocked with extras like spices, the kind of things that are hard to supply for a week stay. We caught a cool range of fish from the dock and lots of crabs. The house was comfortable to sleep in. The location is pretty remote but the house and property had plenty to keep us busy.
