About this House
If the Pamlico Sound is your playground, this is the home you've been waiting for. Named 20 KNOTS, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is perfectly positioned for anyone who loves life on the water. Enjoy easy, private access to the Pamlico Sound, where an exceptional sandy launch awaits for kiteboarding, wing foiling, windsurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and more. Located just minutes from Real Watersports, local restaurants, shopping, and beach access, you'll enjoy one of the most sought-after watersports destinations in the world while still being just a short walk to the Atlantic Ocean.
Inside, there's room for everyone. The three-level floor plan offers spacious gathering areas, private bedroom retreats, and incredible Pamlico Sound views from the top level. The great room features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and panoramic water views that make this home truly special. The open kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, a beautiful glass tile backsplash, ample counter space, and a breakfast bar, while the dining area is perfectly positioned to take in unforgettable Hatteras Island sunsets. A cozy sitting area provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise.
The mid-level features a king ensuite with private bath, deck access, and beautiful sound views, along with two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. The ground level offers two more spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and a recreation room that opens directly to the private pool and hot tub.
The current owners have invested extensively in the property, giving buyers peace of mind for years to come. Recent improvements include a FORTIFIED™ roof (2025), all new windows, a new pool liner, concrete pool deck repairs, a new Modern Flames fireplace, Trex decking on the second and third-floor decks, luxury vinyl plank and carpet flooring throughout, Bassett sofas, built-to-last deck furniture, a Tesla EV charger, updated bathroom vanities, two HVAC systems, surround sound, new washer and dryer, and fresh interior paint completed throughout the home from 2018 through 2024.
Outside, multiple levels of decking invite you to relax and take in the views, while the private pool and hot tub are the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water. Whether you're looking for a vacation home, investment property, or your own Hatteras Island retreat, 20 KNOTS offers an unbeatable combination of location, quality, and lifestyle.
An opportunity like this rarely comes along. The adjacent soundfront homesite (MLS #133537) is also available for purchase. Already improved with a boardwalk to the sound, a storage shed for watersports equipment, and building plans for a future home, it offers the chance to create your own private waterfront compound. Keep the lot as your personal launch site, build a second home, or simply preserve the open space beside you. Owning both properties would create one of the most unique kiteboarding and watersports properties on Hatteras Island.
