Upon entering Tern of the Century you will realize you are about to enter a truly unique and beautiful home. Pale green marble floors and antique furniture beckon you into a bright, well fitted library with an antique oak fireplace, a perfect spot to gaze upon the breaking waves just outside. Three bedrooms on this level have King beds and one has two Queens, all have private in suite baths with imported marble floors and all have private decks or porches from which to enjoy the ocean's sounds and smells. In addition to the Library on this floor, there is also a sitting room, which serves as an office complete with computer and fax machine. This room is connected to one of the King rooms and can be used as a nursery (crib provided) or a toddler's room (sofa sleeper).

A grand foyer with an antique chandelier from a former Governor's mansion and a circular staircase leads up to the Great Room with its stunning view of the ocean. A soaring wall of glass is the only thing that separates you from the dolphins, pelicans and wonders of the beach. Over the fireplace are commissioned leaded stained glass doors where the resident Blue Herons stand waiting to be admired. The huge kitchen is a gourmet cook's delight with dual 4-burner glass cook tops, double ovens, Corian countertops, four sinks and two dishwashers. Plates, glassware and silverware for 48 as well as professional cookware are provided. The dining room table seats 12, and the turret Breakfast Room seats 6 at a custom made imported Italian ceramic table. A beautiful wet bar with ice machine and separate serving area is adjacent to the kitchen. A large sundeck off of the Great Room provides an unobstructed 180-degree view of the ocean from North to South where you can enjoy the dolphins frolicking, the pelicans flying by or the bluefish fisherman chasing the "blues" along the oceanfront.
Also on the third floor is the Media room with a Sony 50" Grand WEGA widescreen TV with Dolby digital surround sound, cable, DVD player and a VCR. A wonderful Ships' Watch flies above the Foyer below and provides a quiet reading area or a view of the Currituck Sound - don't miss the spectacular sunsets from this unique perch. The King Master Bedroom and sitting area on this floor is a very special space, the spiraling four-poster bed is in a turret that has the ocean just outside the windows. The marble bathroom features a whirlpool tub with an antique crystal chandelier, double sinks and vanities, a dressing chair, private water closet, antique mirrors and a 5 foot marble shower with double shower heads - pure luxury!
