SOUNDFRONT Rodanthe — NC 12 Hwy — Just before the sun disappears below the horizon, there’s a warm glow as soft golden hues paint the sky. Some say this phenomenon creates an intimate and magical mood. Perched on the edge of the sound, the newly built GOLDEN HOUR ON THE SOUND does indeed color your memories with the emotional warmth of the moment.

Those who enjoy fishing or water sports will love how easy it is to cast a line or launch a kite right from this four-bedroom/four- and one-half-bath home’s bulkhead which features a ladder leading into the Pamlico Sound. After your aquatic adventures, clean up with the convenience of two outdoor showers and a screened-in fish cleaning station with water and lights to prep your catch for dinner later. Fire up the charcoal grill while the kids work up an appetite playing on the expansive soundfront lawn.

A set of stairs or the all-floor elevator takes you to the second level where you’ll discover all four of the master bedrooms — a king, two queens and a triple full bunk — all featuring ensuite baths and Smart TVs. There’s also a game room featuring a foosball table and two arcade games to inspire a little familial competition. Deck chairs and a 7-person hot tub, perched perfectly on the sound-facing deck, offers the ideal setting to catch the sunset and the ensuing kaleidoscope of colors.

The third and top level features an open layout where everyone can come together in spacious comfort. A large sofa and comfy chairs invite free-flowing conversation, Smart TV watching, and sound views. Gleaming stainless-steel appliances, loads of cabinets and an eat-at counter with four stools highlight a kitchen that is both pretty and purposeful. Eat here, on the deck at the whimsical “surfboard” picnic table, or at the eight-seat dining table that inspires long, leisurely meals that extend well into the evening. Make your next vacation one you’ll truly treasure by booking GOLDEN HOUR ON THE SOUND.
