Located within the resort town of Manteo, North Carolina and surrounded by a downtown marina, boardwalk, galleries, boutiques, museums, inns and cafés, is the irresistible marina community of Marshes Light. Rest, relaxation and rejuvenation await you in this extremely popular retirement community only ten minutes away from Nags Head beaches. Single family homes and Marina Villa homes are available and filled with features and amenities worth exploration.
There are only 13 home sites in Marshes Light in the single family category. Each home site has enough space for an 1800 to 2700 square foot house, parking, and extra amenities such as guest suites or garages. The single family homes also feature granite countertops, gas fireplaces, hardwood floors, carpets in the bedrooms and tile in the bathrooms. Although home prices vary, homes packages are around $450,000.
The Marina Villa Homes are made up of two buildings with ten homes in each building. Amenities include storage units, tilt-wash windows, granite and corian countertops, stainless steel appliances and covered parking. Home prices range from $400,000 to $500,000 and are maintenance free. They dazzle with views of Roanoke Sound and Shallowbag Bay.
The Marshes Light Marina is a full service marina equipped with a Dockmaster and slips up to 60 feet in length. It has deepwater facilities, shower and laundry facilities available, ice free winter storage and offshore fishing. It’s great for water play, sailing, swimming and kayaking.
Marshes Light has already made plans for future home and business developments. Because of the popularity of the villas, three additional Marina Villas will be constructed. Flats situated above retail spaces will be an option. Two 30 room inns are also planned.
This community is a great place for lifestyle changers and filled with many year round activities. It is certainly in great company with the streets of Manteo displaying Colonial, Craftsman and Victorian style homes. Ideal Living Magazine considers it “one of the top three best coastal retirement destinations in America”. For the distinguished home buyer, I think this picturesque community is certainly worthy of consideration.
