This Historical Landmark was built on the oceanfront in 1945 and later moved to the current location. Built in the era of architecture typical of Outer Banks style, similar to those built on Millionaire Row, this beauty consists of the main house along with two apartments: former garage-now apartment and former maids quarters-now upstairs studio apartment. This triplex affords each unit with a full kitchen and washer/dryer; water, electric, and internet services are included in current rents. Definitely room to increase rents; see projections in AD. The interior staircase to the maids quarters has been closed off, but can readily be returned to accessibility should one desire. Numerous scenarios present themselves: continue renting as long-term workforce housing, live in the main house and continue renting the other two apartments, keep the studio for one's vacation retreat while renting the other two... One will appreciate the fine craftsmanship of the beautiful woodwork throughout the main home; oh, if those walls could talk, the stories they could tell! Hayman Boulevard offers both ocean beach access (with parking) and sound access (with a few parking spaces), along with a community park. Centrally located in Kill Devil Hills.

Four Roses is a rare coastal treasure, originally built in 1956 and lovingly held within the same family ever since. It blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, creating a home that feels both nostalgic and effortlessly functional. In 2006, a local builder completed a remarkable transformation, elevating what was then the second floor to become today’s third level while preserving its rich cypress and juniper paneling. The home was rebuilt from the ground up, with entirely new ground and mid-levels, a new carport, and comprehensive updates to electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation. The pool was also added during this time, with the hot tub recently replaced in 2025. The third floor continues to tell the home’s story, where original hardwood floors, shiplap accents, and a classic clawfoot tub in the master bath maintain its historic charm. In 2018, an ocean facing northeast bedroom and beautifully appointed bathroom with a tiled shower were added, along with a new roof. Designed for both comfort and gathering, the home features four ensuite bedrooms, an open concept living space, and a versatile ground level bonus room. An elevator services every level, including the carport, for ease and accessibility. Step outside to enjoy two levels of wraparound porches, offering sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Wright Brothers Monument to the west. Spend your days lounging by the private pool or unwind in the shade of the shared oceanfront gazebo perched atop the dune. Four Roses is truly one of a kind, a home where history, craftsmanship, and coastal living come together in a way that simply cannot be replicated.
