About this property
Downs by the Sea - Wellington by the Sea Condo, Oceanfront, Ocean View, Saltwater Pool, Elevator, Flex Stays
Welcome to "Downs by the Sea", your dream Wellington by the Sea penthouse condo where romance and luxury intertwine effortlessly. This condo was the original builders personal unit and has been newly remodeled featuring three elegant bedrooms all with their own private bathrooms, each adorned with luxurious marble finishes, plus a convenient half bath for guests. The heart of the condo is a sun-drenched kitchen with floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing light to dance across the gleaming surfaces as you prepare your favorite meals.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, visible from both the great room and the oceanfront master bedroom on the upper level. Imagine waking up each morning in your tranquil sanctuary, sipping coffee on your private balcony as the breathtaking sunrise paints the sky in hues of gold and pink. As night falls, let the calming rhythm of the waves lull you into relaxation while you gaze at the starlit sky from the comfort of your home.
Downs by the Sea is not just a residence; it's a retreat. Step outside to discover two inviting furnished oceanfront decks where you can bask in the sun or enjoy serene moments of solitude. The property also boasts an oceanfront picnic area with grills and a sun deck, perfect for hosting intimate gatherings or simply enjoying a quiet meal with a view. This unit has its own private garage. There is a community saltwater pool (open in season only). After a day of sun-soaked adventures on the beach—whether it's swimming, reading, or strolling along the golden sands of the Outer Banks—take advantage of the outdoor showers and the convenience of being just a short walk from delightful dining and vibrant entertainment. Experience unmatched exclusivity with your own private elevator, granting seamless access directly to your unit and garage.
With recent updates including a new roof, resurfaced parking lot, and refreshed landscaping, Wellington by the Sea ensures a seamless blend of comfort and style. Embrace the coastal lifestyle in this picturesque retreat, where every detail is designed for your ultimate relaxation and enjoyment.
