Historic Beach Cottage 700ft to ocean #singlestory

This is a true {mid-century modern} historic and classic cottage. It was built in 1956 by Frank Stick. Frank was a local artist and developer and started the “flat-top” movement in Southern Shores. We have worked hard to modernize this classic and bring it back to life with some fun twists! The porch is our favorite feature. It is 1200 sq feet of screened in, relaxing bliss. Outside family dinners and corn hole tournaments are our family’s way of relaxing at this sweet cottage!

The Avalon Fishing Pier, a wooden structure, extends over the ocean with inviting lights illuminating the building. Signs indicate amenities such as pool tables and video games, while the sandy beach is visible in the foreground, enhancing the beachside atmosphere.
