9936 Louise Howard Court, Emerald Isle

Maritime trees along the ocean-facing side give this second-row east duplex a distinctive sense of privacy within the gated Spinnaker's Reach community. Set high on a dune at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home offers ocean views from the top level and a wooded buffer around the lower oceanside deck. A curved driveway leads to parking at the rear, with the east unit positioned on the left. The one-car garage provides space for parking or storage, while the elevator adds everyday convenience. The ground level includes a separate living area and an additional room, along with a full bathroom and laundry room. This level can be closed off from the rest of the home, offering flexibility for visiting guests. A sliding glass door opens to a covered patio with an outdoor hot-and-cold shower. On the second floor, each of the three bedrooms has its own private bathroom. The spacious primary suite and a second ocean-facing bedroom open directly to the large deck, where the surrounding maritime trees create a secluded feel. The top floor features an open layout with an updated window filled kitchen and living area, bringing the main gathering spaces together where the ocean views are best enjoyed. Outdoor decks extend the living space with room for dining or relaxing in the ocean air. Community beach access and the community pool are just a short walk away at the intersection of Louise Howard Court and Shipwreck Lane.
