Welcome to Harkers Island, the ''Gateway to Cape Lookout,'' where your Down East piece of paradise awaits ready to welcome you home. Ideally situated, this two bedroom, two bathroom home sits one mile from Core Sound Waterfowl Museum where you can soak up the local heritage; Island Express Ferry Services where you can be whisked away for endless adventures at the cape; and Shell Point where you can enjoy sound-side picnics and beautiful sunrises/spectacular sunsets. When it is time for your favorite water activities, you are just five minutes from the white, sandy shoreline of Harkers Island Beach Access for days of fun in the sun; the Straits Pier for fishing; and the public boat launch at Straits Landing for quick access to the Straits and Core Sound—calling all captains and co-captains! With the best of coastal living at your fingertips, this home is only fifteen minutes to Downtown Beaufort's waterfront for dining and entertainment and twenty five-minutes to the Crystal Coast waters of Atlantic Beach. Your new home offers a spacious split-floor-plan with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area that joins the two bedrooms to nicely accommodate family and friends for memory-filled days and nights. The private backyard with a large deck extends the inside living space for entertainment or relaxation. Further, with plenty of driveway parking for you and guests, the detached carport offers covered parking for your vehicle or boat/trailer, and the storage shed provides plenty of room for your gardening tools, lawn equipment, and/or toys. This community offers a wonderful opportunity for a primary residence, a secondary get-away, or a vacation rental in one of Carteret County's hottest fishing destinations, and your greatest ''catch'' may likely be calling 137 Shackleford Drive home.
