CANALFRONT SOUTHERN SHORES HOME! BUILT IN 2022 WITH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION, REFINED FINISHES, EXPANSIVE SCREENED PORCH, FLEXIBLE LOWER LEVEL, AND PEACEFUL WATER VIEWS!
Welcome to 166 S Dogwood Trail—a beautifully designed canalfront home in Southern Shores offering the rare combination of newer construction, thoughtful craftsmanship, privacy, and relaxed coastal living. Built in 2022 and lightly used as a private second home, this property feels fresh, elevated, and exceptionally well cared for, with timeless finishes and a layout designed to make the most of its peaceful waterfront setting.
Designed by respected local residential designer Jeff Sawyer and built by Albemarle Construction, the home reflects quality and intention throughout. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels calm and private, surrounded by mature natural landscape, professionally designed grounds, irrigation, and thoughtfully placed plantings that continue to enhance the property’s sense of seclusion.
The main level is bright, open, and beautifully connected to the outdoors. Engineered hardwood flooring flows through the main living areas, while expansive Marvin Windows bring in natural light and frame the surrounding landscape and canal views. The open-concept layout connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room with ease, creating a warm and inviting central gathering space for everyday living or entertaining.
The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring custom Schuler cabinetry with a beautiful two-tone finish, quartz countertops, modern appliances, a range hood, generous prep space, and excellent storage. The living area is anchored by a fireplace beneath the television, adding warmth and comfort to the home’s clean coastal design.
One of the home’s most exceptional features is the oversized screened porch overlooking the backyard and canal. Spanning approximately 16 x 36 feet, this outdoor living space feels like a true extension of the home, with room for a large dining table, comfortable lounge furniture, ceiling fans, and year-round enjoyment of the peaceful water views. Whether beginning the day with coffee, hosting friends, or relaxing in the evening, this porch captures the quiet beauty of canalfront Southern Shores living.
The bedroom layout is equally thoughtful. The spacious primary suite offers peaceful water views and direct access to the rear deck, along with a well-appointed en-suite bath featuring a standing shower, double vanity, and ample cabinetry. A second private suite includes excellent closet space and its own en-suite bath with a standing shower, creating a comfortable retreat for guests. An additional bedroom is generously sized with wonderful natural light, large windows, and ample closet space, located near a full hall bath and linen closet.
Everyday functionality is beautifully addressed with a separate laundry room featuring a like-new stacked washer and dryer, abundant cabinetry, and generous counter space. The home’s finishes feel fresh and refined throughout, with much of the property showing like new.
The lower level adds tremendous versatility, including a two-car garage and approximately 1,700 square feet of enclosed flex space designed for recreation, storage, workshop use, gym space, beach gear, indoor gathering, or future lifestyle needs. Built with flood-compliant materials and engineered flood vents, this level greatly expands the home’s functionality while preserving peace of mind.
Constructed on 120 pilings with careful attention to structural integrity, 166 S Dogwood Trail offers the confidence of newer coastal construction in one of the Outer Banks’ most desirable communities. With its canalfront setting, refined finishes, expansive screened porch, generous storage, and quiet Southern Shores location just minutes from the beach, dining, shopping, and local amenities, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy elevated, low-maintenance coastal living in a truly special waterfront setting.
