Beach House Hunting In: Kill devil hills, nc
Beach Home Budget: $415k
Cole and Larsen's love story was years in the making. The two first met while working for Larsen's tribal community in Virginia. Cole handled IT and maintenance while Larsen taught at the tribe's daycare as she finished college. They became close friends, stayed connected through her family, and years later reconnected when the timing was finally right. After one Memorial Day weekend together, friendship quickly turned into something more, and after spending the past year making long distance work, they're finally ready to start the next chapter under one roof...
When Cole transitioned into a fully remote IT position, he realized he could finally live where he had always wanted to. Having spent summers in the Outer Banks since childhood, he loved everything about the area's relaxed pace, neighborhood feel, and easy access to both the beach and the sound. Instead of staying in Richmond, he decided it was time to make the coast home. Larsen happily agreed to make the move too, excited to trade the daily commute for beach walks, surf sessions, and a life centered around the water. For them, Kill Devil Hills offers the best of both worlds. It's close to the beach, filled with locally owned businesses and restaurants, but still feels like a real community where they can eventually raise a family.
With a budget of up to $415,000, they're searching for a classic three bedroom beach home with two bathrooms, a yard for their dog, an outdoor shower, room for a hot tub, and plenty of natural light. Larsen dreams of turning one bedroom into her own personal library, complete with floor to ceiling bookshelves inspired by Beauty and the Beast, while finding enough sunny corners for her ever growing collection of more than twenty five houseplants. Cole is already imagining what he can build, from shelves and outdoor kitchens to future DIY projects around the house.
Their personalities make house hunting especially entertaining. Larsen immediately notices the charm, cozy reading nooks, and where all of her books and plants will go. Cole heads straight for the practical details, checking the HVAC, the updates, the layout, and whether the house actually makes sense. She falls in love with the cute factor. He asks when the roof was replaced. Together, they strike the perfect balance between dreamer and realist. More than anything, they're searching for a place where they can finally stop living out of two homes, bring their lives together, and build a future filled with dogs, surfboards, books, beach days, and whatever project Cole decides to tackle next.
