Transport back to childhood when the thrill of getting away from your responsibilities could be as simple as ‘playing hooky’. Feel your shoulders drop as soon as you leave the hard road to drive on the 4x4 beach right next to the beautiful, blue ocean.
Playing Hooky features all the amenities you can think of, for the relaxation and enjoyment of all ages. The game room, located on the entry level, has a pool table, kitchenette, flat screen tv with speaker system, pub table and chairs, full bath and a huge, comfortable seating area for entertaining. A duo bunk and twin bedroom on this level is ideal for the kids getaway, or a 4 person family. Outside is the giant heatable pool (fee) with picnic table and lounge chairs as well as a cabana bath and outside shower.
The laundry room and three bedrooms are on the next floor: one is a king with a private bath, the other two are kings with a shared bath. All upper and mid level bedrooms are equipped with every comfort including SmarTvs. Step outside for the cool ocean breeze on the screened porch, which overlooks the pool and has a 6 person hot tub and dining table. Sip a frosty drink while watching the spectacular evening sky, or watch the kids swimming in the pool below. The hot tub's location in the screened porch means no annoyance from flying pests while you soak.
Unwind as you top the stairs of the upper level. The alluring leather furnishings, half bath and comfortable spaces are outdone only by the striking ocean vistas. The fifth bedroom, a queen bedroom with private bath is also located on this level. Just past the island with seating for three is the well-equipped kitchen, with everything you will need to create a delicious meal. Nice quality flatware and place settings will create a handsome table for 12.
Through the dining area is the bright and inviting sun-room equipped with card table and upholstered chaise for your calming enjoyment. Step through the sun-room to the west onto a amazing sun deck with vistas of the Currituck Sound. Step through the sun-room to the east for spectacular ocean vistas and decking with outdoor seating and access to another level of decking above, the crow’s nest deck located on the roof. Take your favorite cool beverages to the crow’s nest and let all your cares blow away as you savor the spectacular sunsets from the constructed in seating. Look to the south for a view of the Currituck Lighthouse beacon and the Fourth of July fireworks at Heritage Park. Come and Play Hooky for a thoroughly relaxing getaway, and let this magnificent home complimentary you from all of your cares.
