307 W Durham Street Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948

Tax assessed at $527,600 and offered at $327,900. Cash only. This house needs repairs. Close to the ocean and the sound, right in the heart of Kill Devil Hills' Avalon Beach, one of the oldest communities on this stretch of the Outer Banks, running all the way from ocean to sound. High and dry in the X flood zone, so no flood insurance required.

The home is laid out over two separate levels, each with its own access. Upstairs has two bedrooms on heat pump central air. Downstairs has a third bedroom plus a bonus room that works as a home office, guest space, or quiet retreat, cooled and heated by its own window heat/air units.

Outside there's an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach, a rear deck, an attached garage, and a 5,000 sq ft lot. It is offered as-is and priced to reflect its condition, so bring your contractor and your ideas and make it your own.

Ownership includes an optional ABIA membership, just $30 a year and not an HOA fee, and the perks are real: an oceanfront beach-parking permit, access to the private community soundfront area, and the annual neighborhood picnic. You are about a 10-minute bike ride to the ocean access at Avalon Pier, the same to the soundfront picnic area on Bay Drive and the public boat ramp at Dock Street, and under a 5-minute drive to the Wright Brothers Memorial. Publix, Food Lion, Target, and Lowe's are all right around the corner.

Full-time living, an Outer Banks getaway, or a fix-and-hold investment, this one works. Come see what it could be, and schedule your private showing today.
