Old Nags Head Classic beach cottage moved off the oceanfront in 1999 to its present location. Tax records indicate originally built in 1951 on the Nags Head oceanfront just south of Tortugas' Lie Restaurant and may have been affiliated with the Coast Guard at one time but this has not been verified. As you walk up the expansive steps and covered front porch into the entrance foyer it feels like stepping back in time 80 years earlier. Some of the wood doors still have the old original glass door knobs and locks. The house is 1,178 sq ft in size with Dare County Tax Records having the property listed as 2 bedrooms/1 bath. Per Dare County Environmental Health the property is permitted for 3 bedrooms. The house is mostly original as it was moved from the oceanfront in 1999, including windows, siding and doors. The roof is approximately 6 years old and it has a solid piling foundation. There is some updating needed, the property is priced accordingly and is being sold As Is. The HVAC is not operational, is need of repair or replacement as well as the Range/Oven. This is a solid structure dating back to its oceanfront beginning, has stood the test of time and needs some TLC to make it shine as it did almost 80 years ago.
